A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away....

STAR WARS
INTERREGNUM

EPISODE I – THE END OF THE WAR


The tide has turned! With the defeat of Cont Dooku above the skies of Coruscant, Jedi Knights OBI-WAN KENOBI and ANAKIN SKYWALKER have dealt a devastating blow against the Separatists. Celebrations break out across the galaxy as the end of the Clone Wars looms in sight.

Little do both sides know that the Sith Lord DARTH SIDIOUS, the true mastermind behind the war, has been orchestrating the downfall of the JEDI ORDER and the reorganization of the Republic into the FIRST GALACTIC EMPIRE.

It is at this tipping point in the tides of history that finds a young Jedi Padawan awakening to their destiny...

======

Welcome to STAR WARS - Interregnum, a Star Wars quest that takes place in the aftermath of the Clone Wars. For all intents and purposes, this quest will be following the Expanded Universe timeline (a.k.a. Legends), with only a select few importations from the Disney Canon. My own disappointment with the Rise of Skywalker and the sequel trilogy as a whole turned into an inspiration to tread back to better days, before the dark times of Disney.

For those unfamiliar with my work, my name is Kaz, and I've been a QM since the last years of /tg/ quests, and I currently run Devil Summoner: Task Force 666 and Bladebound Retainer Quest. For those familiar with my work and asking why I haven't run Bladebound yet, the curse tends to trigger when I work on that quest, and as I have no desire to get into a car accident or drive my father to the hospital again, I'm...erring on safer side of valor.

The mechanics of this quest draw heavily from the Fantasy Flight Star Wars RPG, albeit modified and changed for questing format. For those curious about the game, I suggest going to /tg/ and checking out the /swg/ (Star Wars general) thread for information. The narrative of this quest draws on inspiration from the "Knights of the Old Republic" and "Jedi Knight" games.

Now, without further ado...

Dreams are an aggregation of memory. Some species cannot dream, and you feel immense pity for what they cannot accomplish and what many take for granted. You are far from a master poet, but to simply refer to it as the clinical “R.E.M. sleep” does not do the act justice. Wandering adrift within the infinite expanse of the mind, one experiences the raw, unbridled power of the subconscious.

One dreams of things that might have been, so interwoven within the truths of past experiences that they seem to be almost real. Dreams can reveal hidden truths, repressed desires and desperate wishes unknown to the dreamer. The fantasy becomes reality, and everything one might know becomes impossible to grasp.

It is little different for Jedi. Of course, there are many within the order that dream, yourself among them. Still, there are those who are plagued with visions, nightmares of futures that may or may not befall the galaxy. Master Yoda always says that the Force works in mysterious ways; you do little in the way of musing on this, but you are mercifully bereft of any sort of visions or premonitions that would otherwise disturb your slumber.

Your master has always warned you about becoming lost in dreams. There are those who wish nothing more than to lose themselves in a realm they can manipulate or otherwise bend to accommodate every desire, more often base than not. To indulge in lurid and lucid fantasy of your own make is a dangerous path, one that leads to delusions of grandeur and entitlement.

Thus, you use your more lucid dreams to reflect, to muse and meditate on an island of calm against the storm of the raw subconscious. Self-introspection is a habit that all Jedi should be well-versed in; you yourself are no exception. And if your species is anything to go by, there are billions of humans who lack such awareness of themselves in the grand scheme of things.

That’s right. You are a human, and you are numbered as one of the hundreds of Padawans in the Jedi Order. And your name is...

You know little about your past, beyond the fact that Farren Gaelle hailed from some distant backwater colony along the Outer Rim. But you have some vague memories of your parents, impressions that surface from time to time in your meditations and dreams. You can remember the strong scent of leather that comes from a working man’s jacket, and the delicate touch of a woman’s fingers that run through your hair; sensations best left forgotten or otherwise buried deep within your mind lest they distract you from your path.

When you were brought to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, you were sorted into the Salamander Clan of Jedi Initiates. You and nine other younglings would spend the better part of ten years learning the ways of the Force in close proximity with each other and communion with the venerable Jedi Masters.

Those had always been the best years of your life, prior to your formal apprenticeship. Initiate training is demanding, and the Masters expect much from ones so young, but it is not so harsh as to be a joyless slog through lighsaber forms and galactic history. For one, the food isn’t as bad as outsiders would have you believe, the beds are warm at night, and the stun bolts on the training droids don’t hurt. Much.

Even with the Masters preaching balance in all things both within and without, it would be impossible to dictate or otherwise hamper the individual growth of an Initiate. As you began to reach into some measure of your maturity, you found yourself spending time on honing your...

At the time of writing, Finesse had already been the winning secondary choice. So with Resolve and Finesse being the dominant stats...

>Intellect: 2
>Cunning: 2
>Resolve: 3
>Panache: 2

>>Analysis:
You are light on your feet and even faster with your hands, reacting quicker than most in almost all application. Additionally, your strong resolve will serve you well against a galaxy that would tear you down, and those strong in the Dark Side of the Force.

Still, you could safely say that you had a joyful youth, one shared among your fellows. And while you became fast friends with all of the Salamanders and those outside of your clan, there was a select few with whom you spent the most time with, two individuals that you could call your best friends.

At first, you were all afraid that friendship would lead to attachment, and a subsequent path down the slippery slope of the Dark Side of the Force. However, when you brought these concerns to the Jedi Masters, they laughed and chortled, reassuring you that a pure friendship with your fellow Jedi was more than acceptable.

Perhaps in hindsight, they might have chosen a more stern and precautionary lecture given the harmless, but aggravating, mischief that groups of children are prone to commit.

>>>From this moment on in the chargen, we will be choosing skills for our intrepid protagonist. Keep in mind that skills /can/ stack from one choice to another, so it would not be unusual to end up with two or three ranks in a certain skill. After all, your experience in the Clone Wars could justify being more proficient in certain skills than others.

>>Pick two:
>You befriend Bavo Avef, a Mirialan Initiate with an interest in galactic politics and history. He comes off as aloof and is slow to let go of grudges, but holds a warm personality for those he knows well. [Gain 1 Rank in Core Worlds (Intellect), Lore (Intellect) and Negotiation (Panache)]

>You befriend Kristen Corrho, a Human Initiate keenly in tune with the Force. She is perhaps the most serious child you’ve met, but possesses a dry sense of humor and fondness for off-color jokes. [Gain 1 Rank in Coordination (Finesse), Cool (Panache), and Perception (Cunning)]

>You befriend Torok Lamal, a Cathar Initiate with a passion for spaceships. He is quite possibly the only one among the Salamanders that can match your own foolhardy bravery and thrill of excitement. [Gain 1 Rank in Astronavigation (Intellect), Mechanics (Intellect), and Piloting [Space] (Agility)]

“When trouble, there is, find you I always seem,” Yoda had mused several times. Even if it wasn’t any of your faults. Really, you swear by the Force that half of the times you’d been hauled before the Master, three of you were bystanders in the wrong place in the wrong time.

Kirsten, as always, protested vigorously, “But, master, I swear this time that it wasn’t us! I even told them that we should’ve gone the long way around-”

“Oy!” countered Torok, “You wanted to see what had happened in the hangers just as much as we did! Don’t go pinning it on us, bowlcut...besides, you said yourself that we didn’t do anything!”

“B-bowlcut?! Have you seen yourself in the mirror, you walking towel?!”

"Better to be furry towel than naked and pink!"

“Wrong place, wrong time, Master Yoda...” you said, pinching your nose as your friends start to bicker. “Please believe me when I say that...”

“Ehehe!” The Grand Master was always forgiving. “Very well. In trouble, you are not. But to your quarters, you must return.”

“Yes, Master Yoda...”

However, there was a single individual who you could never get along with. How this rivalry started is a mystery that likes that even Master Nu cannot puzzle out, or any of the Grand Masters can resolve. Perhaps some offense was given in an off-hand remark, or a physical altercation that resolved itself unfavorably. All you know is that had it not been for the constant vigilance of the Temple Guards and how the behavior would be most unbecoming of a Initiate, you’d constantly be at each others’ throats like a pair of wild rancors.

Or at least, some other four-legged, unwieldy creature given how small and ungainly your limbs are. Still, when the time does come, you certainly don't bother holding back.

>>Select a rival:
>Arotta Bashur, a Togruta in your lightsaber training class. She suffers from a superiority complex, and repeated losses to you have given her cause to both loathe and surpass you, and her insults and goading have drawn your ire as well. You observe a frigid relationship outside the ring, but abandon all pretense once the call for the match is given. [Start with 2 ranks in Lightsaber, 2 Ranks in Melee]

>Ivrat Frond, a Human in your mediation class. He boasts of having a Jedi ancestor in his family tree, and denigrates you as being of “inferior stock”. If there are two good things you can say about him, they're that he motivates you to hone your Force abilities if just to spite him, and he treats aliens almost badly as his fellow, "lesser" humans. [Start with a Force Rating of 2, 2 Ranks in Discipline]

RIP Jedi Boy Band

Doyalist answer: Most of the Togruta art I find is either Shaak Ti or Ashoka, and I didn't want to fallback to red or orange even if the art was of some original character. Even the greyscale art is mostly Ashoka.

“What an unpleasant girl,” Kristen had tartly noted after a particularly fierce spar landed you in the Healer’s Quarter. “Her insistence on beating you into a pulp is going to have both of you black and blue...well, bluer in her case.”

Both you and Torok gave her equally deadpan looks. The Cathar muttered, “You can’t be seriously defending her.”

“I’m not! I just happen to believe that this recklessness on both of your parts...don’t give me that look, Farren! You’re just as guilty for your current state. What had possessed you to make vulgar insinuations towards her montrals?”

“The fact that one of those strikes nearly broke my arm,” you had answered, sticking your fingers as you rattle off the things that caused your ire. “And the time she sent out a kick towards my groin...or hit me in the face with the hilt of her saber...”

“Those aren’t dirty,” Torok said matter-of-factly, “All’s fair in war. We Cathar learned that the hard way during the Mandalorian Wars. But as a fellow man...erm...male...”

“Your solidarity is appreciated,” you dryly murmured...before a thought occurs. Turning towards Kirsten, who sqirms under your intense look, you ask her with the most serious face you can muster, “Say, Kirsten...you’re a girl.”

“...what an astute observation, Farren...”

“Arotta’s also a girl.”

That gives her pause. “Did she hit your head during the match? I’ll go fetch one of the healers-”

“Is there a female equivalent of being kicked in the balls?”

THAT particular line of questions had led to you being flung out of your bed by the Force. The last thing you remembered before fading into unconsciousness was Torok laughing uncontrollably, and an angry Kirsten stomping away from the Healer’s Quarter. And the kicker? She did more damage than Arotta.

A typical interaction between three friends.

She didn't speak to you for a week after that, and only came around once you offered your most heartfelt apologies.

Then, Kristen begrudgingly struggled to explain with a red face that being punched in the breasts was the female equivalent of being struck between the legs. And no, she would not demonstrate or otherwise practice with you.

But such halcyon days were not meant to last, and this was a lesson that you experienced on a more visceral level than other Initiate that was coming of age.

It was during your trials to become a Padawan that a terrible incident befell you, and cast a dark shadow across the year’s tournament. You managed to escape mostly unharmed and even finish the tournament, but you had been forever changed by the encounter.

This occurrence happened only weeks after your thirteenth Life Day in 31 BBY, referred to in the records as “The Initiate Incident”. Your name was censored to protect your privacy, but the initiates of your year and the Masters keep it as an open secret, even as they sympathize with you.

And for that, you don’t know whether to appreciate their silence or be angry with their hesitant touch.

>>>What happened during your Initiate Trials?

>>In a desperate ploy to win the finals match, your opponent overextended and brought the tip of his lightsaber slicing across your left eye. No amount of training could have prepared you for the debilitating agony you experienced, but you fought on to become champion in spite of the pain. Miraculously, the Healers were able to repair your eye, but the phantom pain flares from time to time.

But instead of stopping your levitation, your heart stopped beating, and you were clinically dead for three minutes before the Healers were able to revive you. Lingering on the edge between life and the void has changed you irrevocably.
>[You gain an extra bonus when learning and using Sense-type Force Powers, and gain the ability Farsight, a Force power that allows you to perceive events happening in distant places or times.]

>>Emerging victorious from a rather standard and procedural tournament, your journey back to your quarters was met with ambush by those destined for the Service Corps. As the gang fell upon you in jealous fury, your lightsaber was damaged and as the beating worsened, you instinctively reached for an improvised weapon and imbued it with the Force. You gave a valiant fight with your impromptu weapon before the Temple Guards arrived.

Personally, I'd take a page out of this guy's book. Use the Force to apply pressure to an artery (in this case, the Brachiocephalic) to make it burst, and wait for the stroke to hit.

You had nearly been beaten to within an inch of your life, but you gave equal measures back towards your peers that had failed. Broken limbs and bruised ribs, swollen faces and even burns on some of your more ferocious strikes...

...perhaps a broom wasn't the most dignified weapon of a freshly anointed Padawan, but it did the job and humiliated the would-be Service Corps members...if they weren't kicked out. Upon finding that they would still remain within the order, even Kristen was aghast and angry at the council. Her and Torok petitioned angrily with the Masters, arguing for their complete expulsion and incarceration.

However, they would not be swayed. The perpetrators of this incident would still remain in the Service Corps...albeit sentenced to the most grueling, menial stations the likes of which even a lowlife would blanch. For the next...fifteen standard cycles.

You hadn't complained. If anything else, you wish you could send them flowers. To awaken to a unique Force power at such a young age was a rare accomplishment. Although you do wish that the other Knights and Padawans would stop referring to you as "The Broomstick Knight".

You're not even a Knight yet!

>>You have displayed an affinity for Alter-type Force Powers, and will receive a bonus when learning or executing them.
>>You learn the Force power Force Weapon (Lv. 1).
>>You also have learned Force Push/Pull and Force Jump.

For your valiant performance, you attracted the attention of several Jedi Masters within the )Order, with several desiring for you to become their Padawan learner. The three most vocal and prominent could not be any different, yet for their competitiveness in scouting you out, they had appeared to be good friends. There seemed to be no bad blood lost between them, even as they petitioned the Masters and brought their cases to bear against the other.

However, it seemed that one had won in the end. You know not how they accomplished this, or what games were played between the three of them. All you know is that of the three you saw, only one remained in the chambers of the High Council when you were summoned.

Say...just before your trial, there was this weird kid that came to the Temple after that debacle at Naboo. Skywalker was his name? Apparently, he skipped the stage of Youngling and went straight to Padawan under Obi-Wan Kenobi! Kristen was beside herself, murmuring about the impropriety of the act. The kid was nine years old, far too late to be taken as a Youngling, let alone a Padawan!

She quickly shut up when Torok pointed out that Master Kota was eighteen when Master Windu brought him into the temple. Twice the age of Skywalker, and well beyond the age that a youngling would be taken to the temple...fifteen years, last time you had checked. And for all his sour mood and festering rage that had accompanied him, Master Kota has not fallen to the Dark Side.

You yourself aren’t quite sure what to make of the situation. You suspect that Kristen is equal measures scandalized and jealous of the preferential treatment of Skywalker. Tovol couldn’t care less beyond mild interest, too busy learning the finer points of droid mechanics from Master Paratus.

What did you think of this odd Padawan?
>You tried your best to make him feel welcome in the order.
>You didn’t care about him, you had bigger things to worry about.
>You feel resentment towards Skywalker for his jump to Padawan.

This has no impact on stats and is strictly for character development...as well as determines how Vader reacts /should/ he find you Post-Order 66.

In the brief year you shared the temple with Skywalker, you went out of your way to make him welcome in the Jedi Order. The poor kid’s got it rough; the preferential treatment of the High Council and other Knights of the order have made him somewhat of a pariah among his peers. You wouldn’t go so far as to say he shares a bond with you akin to the Salamanders, or the likes of Kristen and Torok, but there’s a burgeoning friendship there beyond “passing acquaintances”.

“I miss my mother,” he had said one day, when the two of you shared a temple balcony for mediation. Skywalker’s eyes were fixated on the distant stars, which you eventually learned was Tatooine. “Do you remember your mother?”

“Not much...brief flashes, impressions of sensations...” you shrugged as you exit the lotus position, “Not really memories, but they’re there. I was taken young.”

Silence on the balcony. Then: “How do you deal with it?”

“I’m sorry?”

“The loss. Sometimes I feel that my own master doesn’t care for me...and that Master Qui-Gon was a better fit.”

At least you have a Master, something within you snarled, but you quickly stuffed that back into your subconscious. Clearing your throat, you say, “You shouldn’t believe that. Master Kenobi cares for you deeply; he goes out of his way to defend you to the Council. And if you don’t believe me, look inwards on yourself; put your trust in the Force, and it will show you the truth.”

The look he had given you still haunts you to this day. “That’s what I’ve been afraid of...”

=Line Break=

Master Larid is...an odd Jedi. At one moment, the man can go off on a tangent for hours, from the most minute stain on the wall to a nostalgic walk in the woods triggering memories of his wayward youth.

“You see, Padawan, if I possess a green blade, our enemies will think me a Consular! And the double blades will distract them! However, I happen to carry around a spare lightsaber that’s the proper color for a Jedi Sentinel, a lustrous, vibrant gold. But don't tell the Council, hm? It'll be our little secret. Back on Parax Prime, I was hunting down relics of the Sith and stumbled upon this cave which contained a rare crystal...”

And in the next instant...

“There’s a Dark Jedi rumored to be loose in the Outer Rim. Pack up, Padawan, and prepare the ship. There is no time to be lost. This dark acolyte will be brought to justice here in the Temple...but if the Force wills it, then to oblivion."

The change is jarring enough to give you whiplash.

Only then you had begun to understand the "eccentric" reputation that your master had surrounded himself with. And the worst part? You can't tell which one's the fake persona and which one's the real one. More than once, you've been tempted to report this to the Healer's Hall...but it doesn't seem to otherwise impede his duties.

His performance “act” as a hyper-distracted, borderline schizophrenic middle-aged man seems to be a feature, not a malfunction.

“The ‘real Master Larid?’” he had asked when you broached the subject. “Why Padawan, if you needed glasses or special goggles, why didn’t you say so? Perhaps we’ll get some installed with a H.U.D., all the better for you and I to track down the artifacts and remnants of the Dark Side...”

...you’ve long since given up on trying to figure out your master. Not that it stops you from otherwise learning both from him, and what little you can about him.

If Master Larid’s past was a report in the Jedi Temple, there would be several corrupted files and redacted passages. Understandable, as his occupation demands secrecy and discretion. Still, he’s forthcoming when he wants to be, sharing stories about his hunts for anything related to the Dark Side, and the myriad tactics he’s had to use against them.

“You don’t always have to keep your lightsaber on, you know!” calling as you duck and weave blindfolded through a veritable fleet of combat remotes. Who’s rate of fire has been set to three times the standard setting. 'Simulation with a Dark Jedi and their followers' he said.

He still continues to talk, and you aren't sure whether his stories are themselves part of the test; they certainly are distracting you: “When I fought against a Dark Jedi, our blades locked and it then became a battle of strength. Just when he seemed like he was about to break through my guard...I switched off my lightsaber, he stumbled and fell due to the overbalance, and lopped his head off his shoulders. Actually, I still have his skull somewhere in the ship...ah, no, I gave it as a drinking mug to the primitives of that planet...at least, that’s what I saw them doing with it..."

...no, these really had been a part of the training. Because the last sentence he uttered distracted (read: caused you to stumble) you long enough to receive a face-full of blaster.

"...you'd think they'd take the skin off before they started drinking..."

>>You started your journey as a Jedi with a single Lightsaber. Under Master Larid’s tutelage, you decided...

I think I know what you're referring to. Right now, Master Larid wants you to hone one particular fighting method with only one type of lightsaber. You can branch out later, build a new lightsaber or make some modifications later. after Order 66

Oh, and for those wondering about Lightsaber Forms, when fighting, you make a roll for the Lightsaber Skill, adding whatever ranks you have and bonuses from the stats that correlate with them.

- Form I: Cunning.
- Form II: Finesse.
- Form III: Finesse + Intellect.

"Are you so eager to escape the influence of your master that you'd go and create another lightsaber, my young Padawan?"

"Please don't reprimand me when you have two lightsabers of your own, master...especially since they're both incapable of being wielded together."

"Oh, Farren...you wound your master! And here I thought I was going to be enjoying the prospect of teaching you the double-bladed techniques throughout your apprenticeship."

"...what about your single lightsaber? The one that...uh...is 'our little secret'?"

"...I nearly forgot about that!"

Thus begins a long and arduous apprenticeship. In-between the myriad misadventures and mishaps you suffer as your master chases more dead ends than not, you still manage to learn and take away several valuable lessons. Most of these are administered via osmosis; for example, you learned that on the planet of Lupra IV that wearing brown was considered to be a great offense to the natives, and that one should never drink the juice of the Bonbom fruit without first distilling to avoid the laxative properties.

Better yet are the lessons learned in the heat of combat, such as the time your master triggered a trap in some ancient temple, and caused the sentry droids within to awaken from their two-thousand year old slumber.

Good times...times you'll (hopefully) live to tell your own apprentices

But throughout the years of your apprenticeship, he managed to instill within you some degree of proficiency and mastery in...

>>Please select two (2) lightsaber forms that you are proficient in:
>Form II, Makashi - the preferred style for lightsaber-to-lightsaber combat. A style of fluid attacks and feints. [Finesse]
>Form III, Soresu - the ultimate expression of defense and form for deflection, perception and interception. [Resolve]
>Form IV, Ataru - the ultimate expression of aggressive and kinetic movement, constantly on the offensive. [Brawn + Finesse]
>Form V, Shien/Djem So - the ultimate style for aggressive counter-attacks, suitable for blaster fire and lightsabers. [Brawn]

Your lightsabers are a resplendent yellow-gold color, honoring your master and the path laid before you. God is the color of the hunter, of intrigue and pursuit. And you had always seen to it that your 'sabers reflect the actions you take as apprentice of a Jedi Shadow.

And what better style to adopt than the one best suited for hunting practitioners of the Dark Side? Of the enemies you and your master had fought, there were only a handful who had any sort of prior training in the Jedi Arts, be it the Force or in lightsaber combat. Overkill? Perhaps, but the adherents of the Dark Side are just as unpredictable and insidious as the power they wield...

Nine years had come and gone, of misadventures, happy accidents and "good" times for both Master and Apprentice.

Of course, everything changed with the outbreak of the Clone Wars following the Battle of Geonosis. And of course Skywalker was caught right in the middle of that mess. Because it's almost expected of him, given his own share of misadventures. From Padawan to commander of his own Clone Batallion and a padawan, to boot! Sky's the limit for this guy...

"Annoying," was the singular term Master Larid used to describe the conflict. They would detract you from your journey, and the hunt of all things related to the Dark Side. His interest was only piqued when you received news that Count Dooku was assembling a cell of Dark Jedi for the Separatist forces. Still, with more autonomy as a Jedi Shadow, he was afforded leeway where others might not have room.

"Prevent acolytes joining Dooku, you must," Master Yoda's hologram had said on the transmitter. "The war within, your fight shall be."

Thus, your foray into the Clone Wars against the Separatist Forces mercifully found the two of you serving as informants, infiltrators and special forces, but only where Dark Jedi were expected to be. Master Larid has many virtues to his faults, but leadership is not one of them. He practically threatened to walk out of the order if he was placed in command of any Clones. The two of you are attached and transferred out among the Jedi Generals working in the Outer Rim, hunting down and chasing whatever leads you find...

But if you can say one good thing about the war, it’s that you had reunited with your fellow Salamanders across the galaxy. They’ve all grown up, and some of them had been apprenticed to Jedi Generals you’d worked with. Torok had been an Ace Pilot, leading his own clone squadron with a tricked-out Jedi Fighter. He had nearly crushed you with a bear...cat hug.

“...need...air...”

“You mean you don’t have a starship? Here, our armada has plenty of Jedi Fighters we could loan out to you...hell, we’d give it to you! Take your pick of the lot, I won’t be missing anything...”

Kristen managed logistics and diplomatic missions with the Master Aure. She had taken the time to idly note that you’d not died, having heard all sorts of wild stories from Master Aure about Master Larid.

“...and I’m surprised that you hadn’t flown into a black hole with Master Aure at the helm.”

“...shut up and give me a hug, you idiot.”

And to your incredible surprise, you even shared a few missions with Arotta. Your erstwhile childhood rival had been equally surprised, sneering at you before a stern look from her master cowed her into propriety. It seems that the strict tutelage of Master Uyer has taken the edge off your rival.

“...glad to see you’re still alive, pink-skin,” she had drawled out, “I still need to rectify the win-loss ratio.”

Not one to be left out of the snark, you shot back, “...right back at you, blueberry.”

From a young age, you’ve repeated the words of the Jedi Code, instilling the Mantra within your mind to where it comes as easy as drawing breath. In particular, Master Yoda emphasized emotional attachments, or how their lack thereof was the ideal that a true Jedi sought for. And this did not only extend to people; you share the same meager possessions you had from your years as an initiate and your service as a Padawan.

But these ideals, you held onto well enough, and took to like a fish in water. You strove to embody the ideal Jedi, shedding your worldly concerns and attachments in order to become closer with the Force...

...puberty, however, was perhaps the greatest trial that any young Jedi had to overcome. Especially Padawans, who were afforded more private rooms. Granted, it was a fool’s errand to get into any mischief within the Temple (not that it stopped anyone either too stupid or recklessly brave), but even before the breakout of the Clone Wars, life finds a way.

And the war itself made it worse.

Still, the subsequent mobilization of the Jedi places you far away from the temple, far away from the scrutinizing eyes of the High Council and all the cameras and Force-sensitives that could detect an emotional change in a stone. With Masters and Knights busy coordinating the war effort with their respective battalions, it wouldn’t surprise you to learn that a wayward Pawdawan might find some time to themselves...especially with those of the opposite sex.

The truth about war is that it’s an unpleasant business, and an incredibly stressful experience. And that most of the war is sitting around and waiting for the next thing to happen. While meditation certainly takes the edge off things, you’re more than aware of how else people can deal with their frustrations and tensions...

>>While your ‘youthful urges’ began asserting themselves, you managed to keep your emotions in check with years of discipline and training. As for sex itself, however...

Neither of you are quite sure what had happened. The clones of Master Uyer’s ship gave you an empty cargo hold for the two of you to go at it. Nine years are a long time to bury hatchets or make peace with your past, but it seems that you and Arotta have too much bad...well, not bad, but there’s certainly an animosity that goes beyond competitiveness.

“Wow, Gaelle,” Arotta had said as she took up a position. Form IV, you idly realize. It seems that she’s channeled her aggression into dancing around the battlefield. “Your master lets you have two lightsabers? You compensating for something?”

“Only lack of horns on my head, you space-devil,” you had snarked back. With a snap-hiss, your lightsabers sprang to life.

“Just try not to tire yourself out too quickly...”

There’s an awkward pause as the two of you had simultaneously processed the double-entendre that would’ve been innocuous so many years ago. Coughing, you quickly replied, “...I’d say the same thing about you. Form IV is really jumpy, inn’it? Hope those montrals of yours don’t get in the way of our lightsabers.”

No more words pass between you. Perhaps for the better. There had been a heat on your cheeks where there wasn’t prior.

Silence and stillness, stances ready and weapons drawn...then a distant noise had gone off, for some cargo elevator or bay doors, and the fight began in earnest.

Light had filled the cargo bay as the two of you danced in earnest. It’s a far cry from the brutish clashing of your youths, rough and roughshod in execution and methodology. Nine years is a long time to master Form II, improve your techniques and become proficient with another Form. If you had both been artists, your earlier days would be filled with scribbles and doodles. Now, every swing and stroke is a masterpiece in motion.

The conditions of victory were vague. It wasn’t to first blood, as you’d lowered the settings of your ‘sabers. First strike would not have satisfied anybody. Only concession to the better would be accepted for both of you, at least, for a time.

By the time you reach some sort of midpoint, sweat poured off of both of you in rivulets. Form IV is just as exhaustive as you said, and Form VI requires both concentration and dexterity, all the more with two lightsabers. The two of you had been breathing hard, having long-since shorn your outermost robes. A silent communication passes between you, a final clash in the middle to resolve the match.

At the signal of some distant sound, you did just that. You sprint forward, she flips into the air...and in the middle of the hold, your lightsabers shriek and glow wildly as they crash against each other. You have a wider stance, but Arotta has momentum; unstoppable force met immovable object. And for a brief moment in time, there is only the two of you, Farren Gaelle and Arotta Bashur...

Something had clicked. Perhaps one of you had intended to grapple, but the end result was certainly beyond the bounds of a spar. Even as your lightsabers deactivated and you grabed her robes, Arotta had already claimed your hem and slammed you against a container. Her mouth met yours in a violent clash for dominance, one you weren’t about to lose.

By the time the two of you break for air, the concerns of the Jedi Code seem to be a thing of the past.

“...your spaceship?” she asked, with a fire in her eyes and voice that burned hotter than a star.

You nod, somehow swallowing the lump in your throat, “...just an elevator away...”

Master Brethon’s most recent ship at the time was a Jedi Sojourner, a modified freighter made to transport Jedi across the galaxy. Created by the same company that developed the interceptors that the Jedi flew into battle, it was little work for them to develop a line of ships for transportation. The Boss Bantha is hardly the most intimidating name, but it gave off the air of disguising its true intentions.

Neither of you had paused or otherwise opened your mouths. That would have led to a reconsideration of the actions you were about to take. But before your wisdom could get the better of you, the hatch to your own quarters closed, and the two of you made good on that unspoken communication.

Jedi robes had been shed with impatient urgency. Her one-piece flight-suit was more convenient, coming undone with a quick tug of a zipper, and peeled off in with a torturous slowness. Both of your undergarments joined the pile of dirty laundry on the floor of your berth. Your room is cluttered with a mess of artifacts, clothes, manuals and souvenirs, an oddity for a supposedly orderly Jedi. The state of your room could never have been possible back in the Jedi Temple.

Arotta pulled you over to the bed, and swept off all the clothes and junk with the authority as if this were her berth. Then, she took you by the shoulders, threw you onto the bed, and climbed on top of you.

Your coupling had been more a match than a paramour encounter. It was fast, furious and urgent, a continuance of your “duel” in the cargo hold. Somehow, she’s even more rough and aggressive than before, but you’re able to pay her back in kind. By the time you’ve completely and utterly spent yourselves, you had gouges on your back and chest, and blood on your lower lip. She’d long ago screamed herself hoarse, and purple bruises dot along her thighs, chest and neck.

By some merciful stroke of luck, the time on the Venator was approaching rest hours for the officers. Thus, the two of you had been provided with the perfect excuse to remain an exhausted, sticky tangle of flesh and limbs within the confines of your ship for the next few hours. She curled up against you as you drew the sheets and slammed your hand on the lights, pantomiming the aftermath of vigorous lovemaking.

“...so, who won?” she asks in the darkness.

You thought about it for a moment before admitting, “...I lost count...”

“Damn...”

“A true shame...”

“...this doesn’t change anything, pink-skin.”

“Wouldn’t think of it otherwise, blueberry.”

“...this isn’t against the Jedi Code, right?”

“Nothing in the mantra about bumping uglies...”

“Yeah, no kidding. Didn’t expect humans to be pink all the way down.”

“I, for one, am finally vindicated in the knowledge that the color of your lips match...”

“...”

“...”

“...doesn’t change the win-loss if we lose count.”

“...guess not.”

“...”

“...”

“...you up for a rematch?”

“...I can agree to that...”

>>Your relationship with Arotta Bashur has become intimate.
>>Throughout the Clone Wars, you continued to have “sparring sessions” whenever you happened to meet up.

>>Line Break

One of your missions had found you chasing a Dark Jedi through the jungles of some arid, rocky and barely-alive hellhole in the Mid Rim. With an LAAT/i borrowed from your accompanying Clone Battalion, you and Master Larid made quick work of navigating through the dense foliage. Scans of the planet revealed no major settlements, and nothing higher than the equivalent of a dog.

“Tread carefully, apprentice,” Master Larid warned sternly, shedding his eccentricity for a deadly seriousness, “The Dark Side is strong on this planet...can you not feel it?”

Your silence had spoken louder than any words. There had been a font of power here, an echo from which the Dark Side poured forth. Even prior encounters with other dark acolytes could not compare to the sheer evil that permeated the atmosphere of the planet. It called to you, treading at the edge of your mind like a blade of grass, phantom touches above the small of your back...but it was not the usual temptation that presented itself to you.

You sensed an endless yearning, a hunger and great void that could not be filled...

“...remember your training...and all the previous Dark Jedi we’ve faced. You will defeat this one, Farren. You must before they can escape and join with Count Dooku and the Seperatists.”

It had been all you could do to nod and ask, “...and what about...what about you, Master?”

His eyes hardened. “I’m going to locate this echo and obliterate it from the face of the galaxy.”

The Clones placed you down atop a hill overlooking a vast and empty plain. According to your scans, the Dark Jedi had fled into a nearby cave structure, and was only half klick away.

But what the orbital scans mistook for rock formations actually revealed themselves to be the crumbling structures of a civilization long-since dead. Half-sunken towers peak out from earthen rises, and the bases of architecture mark what once might have been a city.

...this planet once held intelligent life.

You had turned your focus inward, thinking and retracing all of your times in the Archives and library. Something terrible had happened here, something so strong with the Dark Side that it left a permanent impression upon a now-dead planet. Only a Sith could have been responsible for this...

You deduce that this could only be the planet Katarr, a Miralukan colony that once held a Jedi Enclave. Years after the destruction of the Star Forge and Revan’s disappearance into the Unknown Regions, this planet was drained of all life by the Sith Lord Darth Nihilus, the Lord of Hunger. There were no survivors save for one, a Miralukan by the name of Visas Marr, whom Nihulus took as his apprentice.

I leave you with that, and now I sleep[/i]

Relaying your “discovery” to your master as you venture through the ruins of the city confirmed your suspicions. What surviving architecture stands is Miralukan in its design; the rounded edges and circular foundations are iconic to their species. And a quick consultation of star charts confirms beyond a shadow of a doubt that this could only be Katarr.

“Darth Nihilus...” Larid spat out the word as if he tasted a bad fruit, “...the Lord of Hunger. Well done, Farren. Only one of his description could have done...this to a planet.”

Fear seized you like a violent grip. “You mean to say there could be more of...of him?”

“No,” your master refuted quickly, “The circumstances of his creation were...unique to say the least. Your next homework assignment is to read my uncensored history of the First Jedi Purge. Of particular interest, you will find the sections about Malachor V and Jedi Master Meetra Surik.”

Assigned reading...and it was unusual for your master to let you into his personal database. At least you had something to look forward to once you returned to the ship.

>>You and your master split up, each venturing towards their respective tasks.
>>Chasing the wellspring of the Dark Side, he ventured towards the distant mountains.
>>Chasing the Dark Jedi, you descended into the cave structure beneath the ruined city...

As far as attire went, it seemed that there had been a Dark Jedi council meeting that dictated that all members must wear black. And failing that, some other dark color that was close enough on the spectrum. You and your master have faced at least a dozen dark acolytes, and barring their species and motivations...they all looked the same, from sector to sector, from the Outer Rim to the Inner Core.

The Dark Jedi before you is no such exception. His robes were entirely black, and only the illumination of a nearby lamp made him visible. And of course, the light of his ‘saber certainly helped define him clearer, snapping to life as you drew closer towards him.

“Jedi...” the acolyte hissed, leveling his weapon in your direction, “...I was wondering when you’d make your appearance...but where is your master? Two I sensed that came down from your ship, two bright sparks among a handful of ashen dullards. I ask again: where is your master?”

You ignited your own weapon, twin blades of gold that cast a hard counter against the harsh crimson light. “I don’t need my master to defeat you.”

A cruel smirk tugged at the corner of his lips. “Is that arrogance, I sense from you, Padawan? Arrogance is unbecoming of a Jedi.”

“It’s not arrogance if it’s a promise...” you declared as you fall into a stance. The cave’s big enough for you maneuver around. Arotta wouldn’t have had any trouble employing Form IV. “But I would first know why you’re here...who you are...”

>>
He laughed, a cruel noise that reverberated along the walls of the cave. “How kind of you to break the ice, to learn who I am and what my desires are before you aim to murder me.”

“My master requires your name for the sake of cataloging and indexing. Even the slightest mistake or lack of information would give him cause to assign remedial lessons.”

“Cheeky, aren’t you?” The Dark Jedi assumed a duelist’s stance, one eerily reminiscent of Count Dooku: Makashi, Form II. “Very well, Padawan. I have no loyalty to Count Dooku or his Separatists. Entertain me long enough, and perhaps I’ll give you the answers you want!”

“Two lightsabers...a curious thing,” your opponent remarked, “I remember Dooku’s little pet was also a practitioner. I never fought her myself, much as I wanted to...such an angry ball of frustration, that one is...”

That could only have been Ventress. It certainly matched up with what Master Larid had on file.

“Ah, no use crying over spoiled blue milk...” In the darkness of the cave, his eyes glowed an ominous yellow color. The power of the Dark Side, the very planet itself, was giving him strength. “Try not to die quickly. I would hate to run you through without helping with your homework.”

You offered no reply but a swift advance, and a flurry of blows from your weapon. He laughed, striking back to lock your blades together.

“I’m going to enjoy this!”

Niman in of itself is not a bad form, but dual-wielding sacrifices the precision one would find in Makashi. Of course, the trade is not without its benefits. Speed and maneuverability are key features of dual-wielding. They aren’t opposing styles as much as incredibly difficult to merge or synthesize. Still, if you lose on lightsaber, you still have another one to fall back onto, and two styles to draw from.

“If you were a boss fight, single-lightsaber Niman/Makashi would be your second stage,” Tovol had once remarked.

But digressing, the cave quickly filled with a violent display of light, and the hellish screech of lightsabers clashing and parting away in rapid succession. The Dark Jedi is a duelist through-and-through. Several times, he tried to break through your guard, only for you to batter it away and counter with a harsh follow up.

“My name is Iskan,” the Dark Jedi shouted, “And I hail from the Outer Rim. Who are you, Jedi?”

“...Farron Gaelle...” you calmly answered, dancing around his guard in an attempt to outflank. “And I came from the Outer Rim.”

He seemed surprised at that last fact, but it quickly disappeared as you tried to press the advantage. He reached out with the Force, Pushing you back in order to regain his bearings. “Gaelle, Gaelle...a good name, a strong name. A name worthy of a Jedi.”

The fight continued. Contrails of light carved molten gouges into the walls and floor of the cave. Both of you were careful to not hit any support structures, or faultlines that might bring the cave down on your heads. Iskan wasn’t stupid, and though the Jedi Code dictates sacrifice, you weren’t about to try that just yet.

“You were never among our order,” you observed.

He nodded. “Aye, no I never was. Dooku saw fit to train me in your Jedi arts. Just enough to give me an edge, but not enough to defeat him. I’m mostly self-taught in that regard, traveling from planet to planet to hone my arts.

“Truth be told, I couldn’t give a rat’s ass about the Separatists. So when the call came from Dooku that I was activated...I just kind of kriffed off into the Outer Rim. Laid low and quiet, honed my skills, killed a few people, violently murdered agents Dooku sent to terminate me...a peaceful life until you guys found me.”

“And why this planet?” you ask.

“...you know just as well as I.” With his free hand, the Dark Jedi gestured to the entirety of the cave. “The Dark Side is strong in this place. Once, it was a wound in the Force, but the millennia have seen this planet slowly healing...shame that whatever Darth Nihilus did left the planet soaked in the Dark Side. And it’s an...intoxicating thing.”

“It will consume you,” you counter with both your weapons and your words, “Even worse than an ordinary dark acolyte. Nihilus’ hunger went beyond that of a Sith, knowing no bounds...”

“I’d give it a few years,” Iskan drawls, “But rumor has it that Nihilus left a holocron. And that this planet has one of the clues that’ll lead me straight to it-”

A Sith Holocron! As far as information goes, that’s more than enough to make good on your promise for a full report. And what you can’t find, you can readily extrapolate or otherwise theorize. A power far worse than that of the Sith, Iskan of the Outer Rim seemed to be after.

And with that, you had no more reason to be merciful.

The duel ended as you would have expected. You feinted, lowering one of your ‘sabers in a thrust towards his legs. Iskan panicked, side-stepping to avoid the thrust, and countering with a strike towards your exposed chest...

...only for you to have used both lightsabers to catch his own. And in that split-second of hesitation, you perform the final strike. With a flick of your wrist, you batter away the counter attack and move to punish him with your follow up. The walls of the cave filled with the scream of the Dark Jedi as you severed his hand, and the lightsaber it carried.

His eyes glowed a fierce yellow, burning with hatred, and you felt the Force drawing into him. Sparks danced along his fingertips, and the taste of atmosphere filled your mouth. But just before he could unleash his Force Lightning, you severed that hand as well, just in time to allow the backlash to blow through his body.

The Dark Jedi lies in the floor, writhing in agony from the discharge of lightning and his own ruined hands. He only stopped as you have both of his lightsabers directly at his neck, ready to deliver the killing blow.

“W-wait!” Iskan panicked, and the words he utters froze you dead in your tracks. “You said that you’re a Gaelle? I visited a planet in the Outer Rim that had a community of them...humans named Gaelle! That’s why your name sounded familiar!”

...your...family?

“Kill me, and you’ll never find that planet,” the Dark Jedi insisted, “But if you spare me, I’ll give you the coordinates. They’re in my ship, and the log’s encrypted to a password only I know. Take my lightsaber, tell your master you defeated me...and I’ll be gone after you leave. You technically did, yeah? With both of my hands out, there’s nothing for me in this path anymore...”

You used the Force to authenticate the truth of his words...

Iskan was telling the truth. Somewhere, in the Outer Rim, there is a planet and community that has your family...and the source of those distant impressions in your mind.

Your parents.

It wouldn't be so bad if it actually made sense in the setting. But this doesn't. Literally an important part of the Jedi code is that you're not allowed to have any attachments, especially not romantic ones. Sex would be pretty much unthinkable.

And also isn't our character still a teenager straight out of puberty? what the fuck?????????????????

Your fist lashed out, and you caught Iskan on the side of the head with the butt of your ‘saber. The Dark Jedi fell to the ground in an undignified heap, unconscious and completely helpless before you.

Exhaling, you take a moment to catch your breath and straighten out your robes. “...it’s a small galaxy after all...”

From your belt, you produced a length of fibercord, and strung it around Iskan’s arms and legs. Even a well-trained Jedi, once bound by fibercord, would find themselves in a precarious situation. Nothing short of a lightsaber or blaster bolt could break such a bind, not even the power of Force augmented strength. Perhaps not the most glorious and somewhat pedestrian in a Jedi Shadow’s arsenal, but you cannot deny how inspired it was.

“MASTER?! How am I supposed to block the control remotes and your lightsaber with my hands tied behind my back?!”

“Trust in the Force, my young apprentice!”

“THAT ISN’T HOW THE FORCE WORKS!”

“Shows what you know. Now pick up the pace, Farren!”

“MASTER!”

“You have been captured by a Dark Jedi and have bound with Fibercord, but have kept your lightsaber and are escaping your prison. However, you’ve been ambushed and barely had time to cut the bindings, and thus you must now fight...”

...definitely inspired.

>>Later
“I see that you’ve quite literally disarmed him,” Master Larid had noted when you dumped Iskan at his feet. The Jedi Shadow had taken up a position on a rocky outlook, smoking a pipe and staring out into the wastelands of Katarr. “Well done.”

Ignoring the obvious joke, you knelt and respectfully presented the Dark Jedi’s lightsaber. He took the offering, inspecting and manipulating the tool as if it held the secrets of the universe within. Depressing a button, the red blade ignited with a hiss, and he took a few experimental swings with the weapon.

“A duelist’s saber,” he observed, “Best suited for one with a dominate right hand, light enough to emphasize speed, but sturdy enough to allow for a two-handed strike. And...engravings? Padawan, come here.” At your approach, he beckoned you over to inspect the weapon. “Engravings look nice, but they give no tactical advantage whatsoever. Only fools and showoffs engrave their weapons...tell me, which do you think our prisoner is?”

“...yes.”

That actually elicited a chuckle. “A wise answer. Now, I need you to run back to the dropsite and let the Clones know we have a prisoner. By the time you come back, I’ll have picked apart all the secrets within his skull, and we’ll be ready to depart this hellish planet.”

The Jedi code only forbids attachments and relationships, not sexual relations.

The Jedi canonically fucked, both civilians and each other. they were just very casual about it.

>age of consent is 18 in most civilized countries
The legal age of consent varies from 16 to 18 years old from state to state across the United States. In some states, a "close in age exemption" exists to decriminalize consensual sex between two individuals who are both under the age of consent.
>civilized countries
The age of consent for sexual activity in the UK is 16. In England and Wales, the age of sexual consent for women has been set at 16 since 1885, when campaigners fought to raise it from 13 to prevent child prostitution.
>civilized countries
The ages of consent vary by jurisdiction across Europe. The ages of consent are currently set between 14 and 18. The vast majority of countries set their ages in the range of 14 to 16; only three countries, Cyprus (17), Ireland (17), Turkey (18) do not fit into this pattern. The laws can also stipulate the specific activities that are permitted or differentially specify the age at which a given sex can participate. Below is a discussion of the various laws dealing with this subject. The highlighted age is that from which a young person can be lawfully engaged in a non-commercial sexual act by an older one, regardless of their age difference, provided the older one is not in a position of power, a relative, or commits another form of exploitation (such as abuse of power, immaturity or dependence). In some jurisdictions, notably Italy and Hungary, there are exemptions for when the age difference between them is within prescribed bounds. All jurisdictions in Europe, except the Vatican, have equal and gender-neutral age limits.

I think it's pretty obvious our sexy love interest with anger issues will be captured and turned into the inquisitor that hunts us down. Everyone else dies except us. I'll give slight odds for the female non love interest friend to live to die a few years into the purge.
>>
>>4004677
Rival/love interest is the most likely to survive as she would be the easiest to convert so she may be captured instead of killed. Probably get turned into an Inquisitor who will hunt us down. Which may actually backfire on the other Sith due to how the Sith treats love/relationships. Our friends though...the odds for them are dismal. Our male friend will die right away as his clone pilots turn on him. Our female friend may live longer but she's not like us who have experience/training in hunting force users. We would know what to expect and how to survive. So while she might survive order 66 I expect her to get hunted down sometime after that.
>>
>>4004677

it depends where they are and what they where doing, because it could improve their chances of survival or lower them.


They could be on a campaign with an army, at the temple, on a mission somewhere or even lost after an incident.
Still the emergency signal that is activate after the temple attack will be the main problem, because it deceives jedi that didn t have many clones near them.

>Nah, Catholic. Mormons are heretics.

At this point, I don't even know if you're being serious or not, since Poe's Law hasn't kicked in as much as it's detonated. But for the sake of giving you the benefit of the doubt, let me clear some things up with you and drive a final nail in the coffin before this gets out of hand.

>Borrowing from one of my favorite authors...

I'm a practicing Catholic. However, I am also a writer, an artist with words. And as a writer, it is my job to tell a story, be it of my own design or borrowing from the universe from which I'm playing in. Which in this case, happens to be Star Wars, a war-torn universe set in space that has cantinas with erotic dancers, princesses in bikinis washing overgrown slugs, and space wizards that have secret love affairs with senators. And that's ignoring the planet-destroying superstructures.

The main issue you seem to have with my story is the inclusion of a teenaged sex scene. I agree that it's a problem. Sure, I could write a quest that only had people doing noble, lovely, admirable, excellent or praiseworthy things. But it wouldn't be a story, or even a work of art. It would be a work of trash and dishonesty. The arts are supposed to tell the truth, and if you can't handle it or don't wish to hear it, then I suggest you turn to those Hallmark or those godawful "Christian" films -where everybody does the right thing, all the bad people are punished, and all the good people win praise- and content yourself with that.

Also, do you know where you are? We're on 4chan, denigrated by the wider world as a wretched hive of scum and villainy. 4chan also posits that you have to be eighteen (18) years or older to post. This is a website geared towards adults. As such, my stories are aimed with an adult audience in mind, and include violence, bad language, and sex. When I write about adult things, I write about the world as it is because you can only find God and morally grey, complex characters in the world as it is, and you can't find God in namby-pamby silliness the likes of "God's Not Dead" and those milktoast Christian novels and movies.

The worst thing I can do is lie, and claim that things like underage/teenage sex doesn't exist. Because the truth of the matter is that we're a fallen race, and that our world is filled with all manner of unpleasantness. Some people here have brought up the explicitness that can be found in Young Adult novels. Certainly, some of those books can be borderline pornographic, and serve no purpose beyond titillation and are analogous to nudity and sexual content on TV (ie. Game of Thrones). But some scenes show that horrible, horrible things can in fact be part of getting at the truths of the world.

Such as how underage kids can regularly have sex.
>>
I think there's an important question in here - how much opportunity are we going to be given to derail canon? While I hold no illusions that we will be unimportant with little impact for quite some time at least, I would be surprised if we didn't end up caught up in major events later down the line.

You knew better than to argue for staying. But before you left, you asked: “Master, you destroyed the font of power. I...I can’t feel it anymore. What was it?”

His face turned grave and solemn. “...nothing more than a ghost of a time best forgotten.”

=Line Break=

Iskan’s ship was barely worth taking back up to the Venator, a piddling small courier vessel that would have been more trouble to take than not. With the information your master extracted from the ship’s computer, there was nothing left for you on the planet. As for the Dark Jedi himself...

“He’ll have plenty of time to think to himself in prison,” your master had said. “We’ll even give him some replacement limbs to sort himself out.”

You had protested, “But he is strong in the Force. Master, I know that killing unarmed and helpless prisoners is not the Jedi Way, but...”

He raised a cursory eyebrow. “But...?”

“...you are never truly helpless so long as the Force is by your side.”

He blinks before shaking his head. “Fret not my apprentice. But do you want to know a secret? Between you and I?” You nodded, and he pulled you in close, whispering into your ear, “It’s quite bold of you to assume that he still is connected to the Force.”

You absolutely missed the mark on everything I was saying but okay. I'm saying that only making "good" choices doesn't inherently make for a better experience. There is no wrong way to play. Being able to precog the fuck out of things? Yes, useful. Is it very interesting? Not really. It's all subjective though. I'm just not interested in Force sensing stuff.

Also it's funny you mention the idea I'm implying good slapping sticks is better than phantom pain when I actually voted for the phantom pain option. Also funny because I didn't imply that. I mean exactly what I said.

Sure, of course there's plenty of debauchery in the Star Wars universe. But Jedi Younglings get practically indoctrinated into the Jedi philosophy at a very young age, it's all they've known almost their entire life. So I doubt it's very common at all for Padawans to have sex with each other, since emotional attachments, including romantic ones are against the Jedi Code.

Yes...you have come a long way since your first steps into the Jedi Order. You had made friends, survived a horrific indident, become apprenticed to one of the few Jedi Shadows, chased Dark Force users across the Galaxy, made some sort of peace with your worst rival, and aided the war effort in your own special way.

And recently, that mad friend of yours Skywalker had defeated Count Dooku in a duel over the atmosphere of Coroscant. You had sent your congratulations via encrypted HoloNet, and shared the rest of the good news with the Salamander chat. With Darth Tyrannus out of the picture, it was only a matter of time before the Clone Wars would come to an end.

But with your reflection nearly done, you still have some time to wander about your mind...it had been a long time since you last saw Arotta for one of your “spars”. A very unbecoming thought occurs. With the war coming to an end, there was little harm in...indulging in yourself. But just as you conjure the image of your Togruta...rival and Kristen with nothing on them but lewd, lurid smiles-

A cold deluge of water splashes over your head, and violently tugs you out of your dream. Sputtering and gasping for air, you jerk awake, groping for the nearest weapon. Your mind reels through scenarios inherited from your master’s paranoia, filtered through the lens of water and torture-

We gotta save A.) As Consulars as possible, B.) as many Younglings as possible, C.) As many Holocrons as possible, D.) At least one Master to ACTUALLY teach us, and then finally when we've saved the bare minimum for the order to survive we gotta book it off this planey ASAP.

“Run! Run away from the big bad monster!” shriek no less than a dozen younglings as they scamper off, using the Force to pull back the buckets from above your head. The ground seems to shake as they all charge out of your room like a whomp rat out of hell. “He’s gonna eat us!”

By the time you manage to escape your waking dreams, they’re already gone. But you still stomp towards the door of your quarters, poke your head out, and roar: “You brats are gonna get it during this afternoon’s training session!”

They do nothing but giggle and scream in faux terror, all the while chanting, “The war is over, the war is over, the war is over!”

...you don’t even have the heart to chase after them with that going on. And you yourself weren’t exempt from pulling pranks on your own masters and betters. Granted, you quickly put a stop to that once your apprenticeship with Master Larid began. Not just because it was improper, but the fact that your Master got...creative with his revenge.

Still...one would think that three years of hunting Dark Jedi across the galaxy and aiding Clone battalions on special operations would net you a better outpost than some backwater planet chapter house. Alas, it seems that the council does not share the same definition of “vacation” or “sabbatical” as you or the rest of the galaxy do.

Your master didn't seem to mind. It seems that the last...twelve years of training you have made him more comfortable around children. He doesn't go as far as to bring their paranoia to the knife's edge with training, defaulting to more traditional teachings one would find in the Temple. But whatever's in the local water supply seems to only amplify his...feature.

=Line Break=

“Good morning, my young apprentice!” Mater Larid calls from the table in the mess hall in a disgustingly melodic voice. “It’s a fine day, is it not? The skies of Nariza are clear, and Rok-Rok birds are chirping their beautifully discordant melody, and the war is nearly over! Ah, you cannot buy this kind of peace and quiet with all the credits in the world.”

A headache threatens to overcome you. “There was a sudden and unexpected shower in my room,” you grumble as you take your seat. “With scattered giggles across the dormitory...you wouldn’t happen to know about any of that?”

“I consider myself an archaeologist and a scholar in Jedi/Sith history, but I am a far cry from a meteorologist. Besides, it’s the dry season. It won’t be raining for another few months at the very least.”

You give him the stink eye, than a glare towards the far end of the table. All of the Younglings seem to be engrossed with the contents of their breakfast, and refuse to make eye-contact with you. Well, joke’s on them because turnabout is fair play. You already calibrated the control remotes to shoot as fast as Clone Commandos for this afternoon’s exercise.

This is not the same location that Master K'Krukk is in. It's a smaller chapter house with only you, Master Larid, twelve Younglings and your Jedi Sojourner light freighter. Chapter house just looks the same since it's a prefab.

>"Master where are all my clothes?"
>"That's simple apprentice, I burned them. Your new set of robes is in a secret place in the Jedi Temple that you must navigate and avoid attracting attention while doing so. If you are detected, you must return to me and accept your punishment for getting caught. Also I'll be taking those clothes that you are wearing before you start."
>"But master if I am naked, I'll become much easier to be noticed."
>"Then don't get caught."

Turns out the trick was to grab another padawan's set of robes, walk to the secret place, switch out those clothes for the new set and walk right back out.
It took us 5 tries, two of which we tried using the force to aid us, which unfortunately made some of the masters curious as to who was using the force all that much, rendering us caught. The other two tries we attempted to do it the physically sneaky way which while a bit more effective but still ended in failure, you can use your imagination as to what silly situations landed us caught.

Like >>4005496 said, there's no "real" canon anymore, but if you look here you'll see a name listed. Case you can't read it it says Rancissis, issue like, 19 of the new Vader comics. I don't know man, I just want me regular EU back...

I miss the old tg quests, now they are all gone and no quest seems to last anymore. Why is qst so shit?

Hey buddy, I think you got the wrong door, the /qtg/ is two blocks down.

>>4005537
Yeah and Canon is trash. So disregard it. Reminder that these are the same comics where they say that Palpatine is a retard who can't run his own Empire and a woman of color does it for him.

Hot damn I just realized that was just a ripoff of the Imperial rump state on Coruscant just replacing Pestage with Palpatine and some bitch with Isard.
>>
>>4005542
Quests are only as good as far as you allow yourself to enjoy them. Maybe instead of spouting negative bullshit you should encourage discussion among players and provide interesting write-ins. Or recommend quests you enjoy in /qtg/ to get more players instead of making your first post in a good quest a pointless complaint.

But there’s one more particular point of umbrage. You chafe uncomfortably at the remark, one that drives home the further point that for all your years of hunting Dark Jedi, you’re still a padawan. “‘Young apprentice’? Master, I’m almost twenty-five...”

“And I have just nearly twenty years over you,” he counters, taking an obnoxiously large bite out of imported fruit. The juices run down the length of his beard as he sighs contently. “Thus, I reserve the right to always defer to you as young, even in the twilight of our years.”

The ghost of a smile tugs at the corner of your mouth. “I’m sure I’ll appreciate being called ‘young’ when all my hair’s fallen out and I’m old and grey. But that’s...that’s not the problem. When will you allow me to take the Trials?”

His mood changes instantly, but not so overtly. Master Larid sets his fruit down, and regards you with a knowing look. “When you are ready.”
Your patience slips, just for a moment. “But, master, I am ready...I’ve been more than ready, especially with the war ongoing, and all the Dark Jedi, I’ve done more than-” He gives you another look, and you are cowed into submission. “...I’m sorry, master. It’s just...”

“And now you see why I call you ‘young’ and ‘youthful,’” he admonishes you, carefully slicing another fruit on his place. “Your diligence has always been your strongest point, but you must temper the eagerness of youth with the wisdom and patience of a Jedi.”

“...yes, Master...” you murmur as you hang your head, embarrassed and cheeks burning red. But the Force thrums with a moment of power, and you find half of the fruit laying itself on your plate.

Brethon Larid gives you a rare smile, one that is not hidden behind his mask of eccentricity or his persona of ruthlessness. “After this assignment, I fully intend to complete your training, for you are so nearly done. When I first met you, I found that you had displayed and endured greatly in the Flesh when you were ambushed. You have more than demonstrated adequate Skill, and several instances of Courage. All that remains is that of Spirit and Insight, both of which I expect to be completed within the year.

Your face flushes with equal measures of embarrassment and gratitude. “Thank you, master. Your words...they mean a lot to me.”

“And your actions in turn, have done more than please me,” he replies, taking a bite out of his own half of the fruit. “I’ve always had my doubts about taking an apprentice, but you’ve more than proven yourself worthy to inherit my-”

A Tremor in the Force.

It his the both of you like a physical wave, like a burning brand hold your heart. The fruits drop from both of your hands as you collapse onto the floor like deboned fish. Plates and utensils fly as the Youngilngs panic, rushing towards you with their distress a nearly tangible thing.

There is a pain that you’ve never experienced, an agony that goes deeper than the worst injuries you had suffered. Breath after agonizing breath, your lungs struggles to put air past the lump in your throat and the constriction around your heart. Tears burn down the side of your face as a profound sorrow screams from the Force, a terrible sense of loss as what you perceive as lights are snuffed out, one by one...one by one...

“Mas...ter...” you wheeze, struggling to hold your emotions in check. While half of the terrified Younglings recoil, the other half struggle to push you back onto your feet, the morning prank forgotten and all threats of punishment disappeared. Whatever is happening, they don’t seem to be feeling it as severely as you and Master Larid. “...master...what is...happening?!”

He can offer no answer. The Jedi Shadow is locked in some rictus grimace, hands clenching and mouth wide open in a silent scream.

Somehow, you manage to stand, even with the feeling of a sword through your heart and guts. You manage to grit out, “...get Master Larid to the medical quarter, hurry!”

The eldest younglings manage, half-dragging the master towards the healer’s room and medical droid. And as they disappear, the remainder cluster around you, tugging at your robes and looking up with naked fear in their eyes.

“Farren, what’s happening?!” they clamor, “What’s going on?” / “My chest...it hurts so much...” / “Is Is Master Larid going to be okay?!”

You wave your hand, grimacing as you settle back into your chair. “Settle down, settle down...”

Your HoloNet communicator begins to beep uncontrollably. It’s a communiqué on the private Salamadner channel, one of your siblings in all but blood. Grimacing, you pull up the holographic display, quite intent to see how the rest of the Order are perceiving this disturbance in the Force...

The floor suddenly seems to disappear underneath you, and the light of the sun vanishes behind a mountain. Master Larid is forgotten, all the Younglings a footnote in your memory. All you can do is stare like a gaping fool, an idiot at the words that race across the screen.

>...ANALYZING SOURCE...CONFIRMED SIGNAL: JEDI INTERCEPTOR "The Kathar Claw"
>...COMPENSATING FOR DELAY AND ENCRYPTION...

It’s as if somebody else controlled your body, a puppet master that causes you to bend down, grip the communicator and activate it once more.

>...BEGINNING TRANSMISSION...

“THIS IS SQUADRON LEADER TOROK LAMAL,” a familiar voice bursts from the speaker. The sheer aggression of the voice is nearly enough for you to drop it, even as it jolts you out of your stupor. Beneath the voice, you can make out the distinct sound of space weaponry, the iconic sound of laser cannons. “I REPEAT, THIS IS SQUADRON LEADER TOROK LAMAL OF THE JEDI ORDER. MY CLONES HAVE BETRAYED ME, AND MY MASTER’S BEEN SHOT DOWN. ARE THERE ANY FRIENDLIES IN ANY NEARBY SECTORS? REPEATING...SITH DAMN YOU, SOMEBODY ANSWER!”

You dare not breathe. For a terrible moment, you thought that you were the last of the Salamanders. This revelation comes nowhere close to lifting the burden on your shoulders, but it does give you a much-needed jolt.

Fumbling with the transceiver, you shout back, “Torok! Torok, is that you?!”

The answer you receive is nearly enough to deafen you. “FARREN?! Oh, thank the Force! I saw that message and I feared the worst...you’re alive! Where the hell are you?! I shot down a few of the damned traitors, but the damned Venator is sending more after me!”

“I’m in the Nazira system! Here in a retreat with twelve younglings and my own master. Where are you?!”

“Outer Rim, just a few parsecs away from the Perlemian Trade Route! Where the hell is Nazira?”

>Take 8 for Astronavigation.

Desperation and fear gives speed to your math. “Mid Rim! Only a handful of parsecs down the galactic south of the trade route!”

“Those aren’t coordinates, Farren!” he snaps as he strains to dodge what you fear to be an extremely large turbolaser. “Sith-spit! The Venator’s opening fire! Farren, I need those coordinates! I rigged my interceptor with a hyperdrive; we’ll meet up and figure out what the hell’s going on.”

You catch yourself just as you’re about to fork over the coordinates. “Are you crazy?! You’ll bring your entire Clone battle group on this outpost! It isn’t that hard to track down hyperspace contrails! Our ship isn’t equipped to deal with anything larger than light skiffs or pirate transports-”

“We’ll burn that bridge when we get there!” your friend roars, “You don’t intend to stay on this Nazira planet, do you?!”

“Of course not!”

“Then it's you and I against whatever the hell's going on. Salamanders together!” You can hear the sound of switches being flipped, and the sound of a hyperdrive spooling up. “Hurry! I don’t have much time...!”

We're going to have to deal with the clones tracking him plus whoever's been sent for us. Without our master. And while protecting 12 younglings.

Our best bet is to get on the ship and bail with everyone as soon as he catches up to us. This place is fucked.

Not a single Jedi should feel bad about sacrificing themselves for the greater goal. Period.

We're Jedi special ops. Our task and goal isn't to just be super good guy saves the day, everyone lives. If Torok dies then so be it. He becomes one with the Force. 12 younglings are more safe and the seeds for the future grows.

Tell him we have faith in him and that the force be with him. He's survived worse than this and we'll find him somehow.
>>
>>4005813
Nope

>>4005814
Sacrifing him is meaningless though. If the line was secured then maybe. But that Venator started a backtrace on us as soon as we answered him. As soon as he buys it we get hit next. So not telling him is meaningless sacrifice of a friend. Ergo our best bet is to tell him pack up and bail, burning all we do not take down before we do. We kinda need something better in space for fighting anyways. If we had a secure line and location I’d agree. But we don’t. We fucked ourselves as soon as we answered.
>>
I'm just thinking that we don't have anti-air capabilities here. What can we do to help? He'd still have to survive a dogfight essentially by himself even if he did come here, with the added bonus of leading even more enemy troops to our location. Enemy troops with starfighters that we have no defense against.

Master Brethon Larid is the proud owner of the [i[Boss Bantha[/i] a Jedi Sojourner-class light transport. Commissioned by the Jedi Order during the twilight years of the Clone Wars, it was originally meant for Force Mystics and Padawans/Younglings to travel the galaxy in search of the Living Force. It's equipped with a class 1 primary hyperdrive, a class 12 secondary hyper drive, and sensors that give it long-ranged detective capabilities. It can be crewed by one pilot, and comfortably accommodate six adult passengers. It has twin forward medium laser cannons, and two dorsal and hull turret-mounted light laser canons à la the style of a Corellian freighter (read: Millennium Falcon)

Sacrificing cargo space for meditation and room for sparring, one of the most unique features of a Jedi Sojourner is its Holocron repository. Sojourners were commonly sent with holocrons on board to use in teaching or research. Master Larid has personalized his Sojourner to be more easily mistaken as a traditional Corellian freighter, as well as amassing his life's work within this ship. From Sith artifacts and Jedi Holocrons, to his own personal files and history of the Galaxy and Jedi Order, the Boss Bantha is the closes thing Master Larid could take pride in and say is his magnum opus.

>>4005833
>I'm just thinking that we don't have anti-air capabilities here. What can we do to help?
We could throw force weaponized bricks at them with telekinesis. It could work.

Definitely a hard call here. But we can't send the coordinates. Sending the coordinates is a selfish move that makes us feel better about ourselves short term for helping our friend but puts helpless younglings at greater risk. Search your feelings anons, you know it to be true.

>>
>>4005842
Well holy shit that's actually an amazing ship.

Alright... so with our master being who he is, has he retrofitted it with some kinda stealth ability? And how speedy is it compared to a Venator?

Either way there's no way to avoid the tragedy of the jedi purge and either decision would haunt us, but sending the coordinates is very myopic given the importance of protecting the younglings. The way I see it, sending coordinates makes us responsible for the death of younglings, while we're otherwise responsible for the death of our friend. Or maybe they'll all die anyway. Who knows?

Switching >>4005804 to not giving the coordinates. We could allude to the reason but the general vicinity is the most we can safely give. He'll have to do a random jump from there.
>>
The way I see it, leaving him to die might give us a few more hours to prepare and wait for our master to recover before the clones come marching in, but giving him the coordinates will give us less time to prepare but we'd have another jedi bro and an experienced pilot at the cost of maybe a few youngling deaths.

It's chocked full to the brim with all the redundancies and stealth capabilities that Master Larid's paranoia would allow him to fill in. It's got backups for the backups, multiple funnels to disperse heat, a "play dead" switch that insulates the engine room and makes the ship appear like a wreck, and more biometric scanners and systems than a Kamino clone facility.

The Boss Bantha's signature ability is "LUDICROUS SPEED", a big plaid button on the dash panel that causes the drive to enter an emergency burn, tripling base sub-light speed at the cost of overheating the engine and burning through your fuel quicker.

It's definitely faster than a Venator, and it's had its own fair shares of making hot extractions off of missions gone wrong (read: offending the locals). The Bantha's up there, with only some of the more top-end Interceptors capable of catching her. The only time when it could ever outrace the Falcon is when someone smashes the big, plaid button, and not even for long.

“...we’ll deal with them when you get here...” And you hurriedly transmit the coordinates with an old Jedi cipher, just in case somebody’s listening in. “The second you’re in system, you make a beeline directly to the chapter house. No more than an hour to refuel and make repairs, and we’re out of here!”

You swear that you can see the shiny whites of his teeth in his voice. “Will do, brother! I’ll make as many jumps as I can to throw them off my trail.”

“Don’t burn out your hyperdrive!” you chastise him, “You remember what happened the last time you tried to do that stupid...that idiotic excuse for a maneuver?!”

“Hyperspace skipping is a viable tactic!”

“I don’t wanna hear it! You nearly rammed into that giant space whale the last time you tried a blind jump! But that isn’t important...you have your coordinates, now get your ass over here!”

“Will do, brother! May the Force be with you!”

“You too, you overgrown bathrobe-” The transmission cuts as the hyperdive finishes spooling. All you hear is the crack of Torok’s ship, before all the commset is transmitting is a dry hiss of static.

>>You have sharply gained influence with Torok.

“...M-master Farren?” One of the younglings approaches you with a fearful expression on her face. She is a Nautolan, the same amphibious species as Jedi Master Kit Fisto. You struggle to conjure up her name...Reytho...Ratho...Ritho! Ritho Gad, one of the ringleaders of your last week’s misfortune with the pranks. Terror and fear has replaced the innocent mischief within her eyes. “W-what are we going to do?”

You feel uncomfortable being addressed that way. "...I’m not your Master.”

“But what about Master Larid? He’s...he’s been incapacitated from the disturbance. That means you’re in charge now.”

“...I guess I am,” you slowly agree. And with that revelation comes a burning call to action. The shock of the tremor still courses through your body, continuing to stab at you as more lights in the force are snuffed out violently. “...we don’t have much time. Go to your quarters and pack up. Only what’s necessary, do you understand? No more than two extra changes of clothes and three kilos of personal items.”

They nod dutifully, and you continue to speak fast, if nothing else just to have something else to think about other than dread and fear at the current situation. “Prep the ship for launch, and get Master Larid’s stretcher into the Bantha with that medical droid. Ritho, I need you to offload all of the chapter house’s data into this pad, can you do that?”

Her tentacles bob jerkily as nods, and sprints towards the central hub with the machine clenched in her hands.

“Okay...it shouldn’t take too much fuel...Luaine, Nujem!”

“Yes, Master!” The young girl and Kalleran boy snap to attention.

“Take four other Younglings and load the Bantha, provisions and fuel! Offload one hundred litersfor Torok’s starfighter, and disperse the rest within the humidifier. We’re gonna leave a nasty surprise for whoever coming to find us...”

“Master?” One of the youngest members asks you, an Arconan by the name of Fusan. He stares at you with wide eyes, and asks with the innocence of a child who did not understand: “...are we the last Jedi?”

...you have no answer that could comfort any of them.

>>Later

Master Larid’s been placed comfortably in his berth, under the dutiful watch of the medical droid, affectionately nicknamed ‘Doc’ by the younglings. The Jedi Shadow has seen better days. His breath is labored, and his eyes flicker and dance wildly within their sockets. Sweat runs down his brow in rivulets, and every few minutes needs to be wiped with a towel.

“Whatever happened to him has caused him to suffer cardiac arrest,” Doc reports in its...his monotone voice, “But do not worry. I have administered the proper care and treatment for him. A temporary pacemaker has been installed to monitor his heartbeat, and I have begun to take scans. If he requires corrective surgery, I will begin the process. However, I understand that Jedi have specialized healers.”

“We aren’t anywhere near them,” you snap at the droid. “Do what you can, but I’ll be the final arbiter of whether or not he’s going under the knife. Are we clear?”

“Yes, Padawan Gaelle...”

...you offer no additional comment, stomping out of his quarters and into the interior of the ship.

For the sake of fairness, all of the younglings will be sleeping in the large space dedicated to meditation. The berths will be reserved only for you, and Tovol whenever he gets here. The logistical nightmare of having two ships, each with their own unique hyperspace parameters and needs and armaments...

And Force knows that Tovol would rather die than part with the tricked out ship he calls “his baby”. Attachment is unbecoming of a Jedi...but in these trying times, you’re more than willing to let a few things slide. And it would be hypcritical of you to ask him of such a thing when the Bantha holds more obvious emotional attachment to Larid.

>>You still have some time left before Tovol rendezvous with you.
>>Pick two options to choose:

>Consult the star logs for any “redacted” planets Larid had kept secret.

If the clones catch us, the youngling are doomed on their own. No crash course training is going to fix that.

Because two more potential jedi protectors who are basically Knights for the younglings is better for us than just teaching them how to get shot by clones.
Stormtroopers maybe.
Clones no way.

We can start training up Jedi super-assassin bounty hunters later.
This will be our only real chance to find if they survived.
Shit, they might not even be around clones or aware of events.

Walking into Coruscant unaware would be a death sentence for them.
Only a bullshit level Master or a very lucky Jedi could survive Coruscant now.

Clones are mostly battlehardened veterans now, and plenty of them know how jedi fight and work. They are going to shower in blasterfire the padawans if they see them, no amount of blocking is going to save them.
In fact the padawans better go to the Boss Bantha immediatly when the LAATS go down.
Now a better question.... where are our clones ? I imagine they are specialized clones for our type of missions : so it could be assasins, ARC troopers or maybe even commandos.
>>
>>4006131
Based Kota refused to command clones.
We don't have that to worry about just yet.
>>
>>4006131
I think our master refused to lead clones and we need anything we borrowed from troops nearby. I'm fairly certain nethier the master or we led troops. Couple this with the fact we are in an isolated area is why we have a bit of breathing room for the begining of order 66
>>
>>4006133

That s pretty good then, we don t have to worry about attachments and the like.


Might be bad for not have experience in leading man in war/battle for a possible future group of rebels, but that s what the others jedi we recover will be there for.

We're gonna have to reach rhese younglings a thing or twonabout deflecting blaster fire some other time. Y'all think Master has any "good" planets on that redacted list? Old Jedi Temples/Outposts lost to time maybe? Dantooine? Ossus?

old outposts would likely be in the temple archive, and are thus mor likrly to be raided by the empire
>>
I have to go to class (hahaha fuckin' quarter system, amirite). But for those wondering, if you had picked another master...

Master Uyer would be the archetypal Jedi General, leading a Clone battle group in the Outer Rim. When Order 66 happens, you'd be out in the middle of bumfuck nowhere in some jungle planet. Your goal would then be to survive long enough to make it back to the F.O.B. and steal a ship to get off-planet.

Master Aure would be on a diplomatic mission to bring a neutral planet into the Republic. When the Order is given, the locals decide to try and accrue goodwill with the new Empire by throwing you in jail and having the authorities pick you up. Your goal would then be to bust yourselves out of jail and get your ship back.
>>
So the guardian gets a potential stealth mission
The sentinel gets to raise some brats
And the poor consular gets used as a neat stick, looks like we got the good deal, babysitting for the win!

So considering the Boss Bantha can house a max of 6 adults, y'all think it can house 12 younglings and three adults? Considering a youngling is half an adult we could still take on like, a good few more before reaching max capacity but I'm concerned that we won't have enough space as is with 12 kids, an injured man and two padawans.

Not to mention I severely doubt that we have the capacity to properly feed and care for 12 uber-scared, uber-nervous force sensitive kids. We'd need to take in dietary preferances, allergies, find a safe place to settle and then keep a secure comm link with them while we're out working jobs to keep them fed.

Ontop if ALL of that we need to make sure they stay away from Master Lirad's sith related shit AND that they still get a proper education AND that we set a good example for them!

We're going to be a space dad! It's at once tbe most happy and terrifying moment of my life!

They can share beds, or rotate sleeping and training hours. It says it can *comfortably* accommodate six people, so I presume we can add bunks or convert other rooms to not quite so comfortably accommodate more. But yes, we're going to have an armful of children whether we want to or not.

You are, which is why we're setting up the Space Yakuza to serve as numerous front businesses. We go around the galaxy taking on all sorts of shady ass deals everything from robbing rich people to assassinating other worse crime lords, but while we're on the job oir younglings call us and tell us they want some Bantha Burgers when we get home.

We tell them there's some Bantha steaks in the fridge and that we trust them to cook it themselves and that we'll be home soon and we love them, all this in the middle of a very important drug deal. Kids right?

Not like the Empire hunts down Jedi and cracks down on criminal organizations that don't dance to their tune. Not like the Inquisitorius or Vader hunted Jedi like hounds up until months before the Battle of Yavin. Not like the Great Jedi Purge was 99.9% effective.

But no, you're right, not agreeing with your stupid idea is shitposting.

There's no such thing as "not even worth the Empire's while"

>>4006502
The Hutts also played ball with the Empire.

I guess you could say that THEY weren't worth the trouble they were worth to the Empire. But they've had 15 THOUSAND YEARS to consolidate power. Hell, Jabba alone has been in power since the middle of the Republic Golden Age.

>>4006516
Yeah, but we're a Jedi Shadow Sentinel hiding behind 20 Space Yakuza Proxies.

Can't laser us if he can't find us, and our whole shtick is both finding people who don't want to be found and being abke to not be found. So because we know how to find, we also know how not to be found, savvy?

>>4006518
So play ball via proxies, it's not that hard, or better yet pull a Consortium and bank roll some corrupt Imperial Officials on some backwater Outer Rim post. They send bogus info to the empire while keeping us informed. I don't know why you guys are against wanting eyes and ears both in the underground AND on the Empire, it's not the most dangerous idea anyone's ever had.

As the computer crunches the numbers, you take the opportunity to contact Arotta and Kristen. All of the Salamander’s Jedi Communicators had been specially made, to keep in touch with the extended members of the Initiate Clan. Tricked out with the latest in telecommunications and tightbeam technology, the delays are minimal, and the ranges almost a quarter of the galaxy. And failing that, the HoloNet bounced the signals off of satellites and ships.

Kristen would have already gotten the message. And as far as you can remember, her missions with Master Aure only had a small contingent of Clones as an escort. Eight could be easily dispatched. But Arotta...you decide to contact her first, and not just because you happen to be sleeping with her. She’s in command of her own clone battalion and battle group, right behind Master Uyer...

...but if whatever’s happening at the temple is happening across the entire galaxy...

The implications hit harder than a concussion, and that iron grip on your very being squeezes all the tighter. Fusan’s innocent question seems to have gotten heavier. As far as you know, you are the last of the Jedi.

Waiting is the worst part. Dialing in the frequency that Arotta had given you after your first “spar”, every second of waiting to establish contact is torturous agony. Your stomach churns, and your heart aches with an unfamiliar feeling...

...you frown. Is this...attachment? A fear of losing her? Impossible. Both of you proceeded as you had in the knowledge that your coupling had to remain devoid of attachment, even as you continued to snap at each other’s heels. The only emotions you had felt whenever you were with her had been anger, frustration...blissful resolution whenever you spent a long night tangled in each other’s arms and sheets...

Those thoughts are banished swiftly. That line of thinking lay down a forbidden path. You hold no feelings for Arotta Bashur beyond a competitive animosity...do you?

>>...SIGNAL LOCATED...
>>...CONFIRMING SOURCE...CONFIRMED SIGNAL: JEDI PADAWAN AROTTA BASHUR...

The confirmation noise is a welcome distraction from your thoughts. You grab the speaker, jamming the TALK button with perhaps a tad bit more force than necessary. “Arotta! Arotta! It’s Farren. Listen, something terrible is happening-”

“Hey, pink-skin,” the Togruta’s voice answers, and hope surges in your chest at the sound of her drawl. "Miss me already?"

“Oh, thank the Force...listen, you need to-”

“I ain’t around to pick up the line,” the playback message of her communicator says, destroying any hope you had and stopping your heart for a good few beats. “...yeah, hard to believe that my life revolves around things other than fighting and screwing our brains out. Leave a message, and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can. If it’s about a Dark Jedi, send it to my master; about a rematch, I’m down for it any time; and if you need a good screwing...talk sweet to me, and /maybe/ I’ll be more than ready to go next time we meet.”

The message cuts off with a customary BEEP, filling the cockpit of the Bantha with only white noise and the emotions that threaten to overcome you in the darkness...

Any Master would have told you to simply let her go. Death, after all, is only a part of the natural order. To become attached to someone is to fear for them. And that fear is but the first stop on the path to suffering and the Dark Side of the Force.

...

“Computer,” you murmur, slumping back into your chair and burying your face in your hands, “...give me the coordinates for where that signal went...”

Reaching Kristen doesn’t even give you static. There’s a signal, but whoever’s on the other end is either refusing to pick up...or is incapable of answering. And what little hope you have left plummets like a stone.

All you can do is numbly type out a final message as the Younglings finish the tasks you assign for them. They run up the ramp of the Bantha, their steps heavy under the supplies they carry. If you concentrate, you could probably discern their frightened whispers and hushed tones of voice...if you tore your attention away from your message to Kristen.

If the Masters are doing the same thing here as QM said they would be doing with us as Order 66 occured...

Arotta is in the middle of a bumfuck nowhere jungle planet and needs to escape
Kristen is in prison on an unaligned planet.

Not great for either of them, but not unavoidable death poor bastards like Ki-Adi-Mundi got.

The problem is saving the two of them if both are alive...

If they are both alive, and our furry friend arrives, we can send him to pick up Arotta as he's a superior pilot and use our Jedi Shadow training to go rescue Kristen.

Time is of the essence.
Of course, they might also have been immediately gunned down.

But just before you shut it off, you order the computer to give you the coordinates of her signal as well, and shut the door to the cockpit so that the Younglings couldn’t see your face...

>Dantooine, a key battlefront planet, it was heavily contested until the Seperatists were driven back and the Clones departed to the next planet to reinforce and bolster. A lush temperate planet, it holds the ruins of a Jedi Stronghold from the time of the Great Galactic War, and hopefully a small garrison of Clones. [Moderate Danger]

>Kakarit, a battlefront planet in the Outer Rim, heavily contested by the Republic and Separatist Forces. Known for its lush jungles and hostile fauna, it is where Arotta’s signal had originated from, but be wary of a fully armed Clone battle group and any Separatist remnants. [High Danger]
>Ossus, a minor battlefront planet in the Outer Rim, and relic planet known for its extensive Jedi history and extensive archeological sites. With so much public knowledge of its Jedi History, you would need an extremely good reason to visit given its importance to both Sith and Jedi. [High Danger].
>Tython, the mythical homeworld of the Je’daii Order, the ancient precursors to the contemporary Jedi Order. Its location was lost to both the Jedi and the Sith during the Great Galactic War, but its proximity in the Deep Core makes for a perilous and dangerous journey. [EXTREME Danger]

Tython, while dangerous, is unknown to the Empire. Navigating the deep core will be hard, but the ruins and shit should help us train the younglings. The danger on-world could also help toughen them. The Unknown Planet is likewise unknown to the Empire and we can rendezvous with Kristen and strengthen our numbers.

Uurgh.

As long as we're careful, we can get in, get her and hopefully her Master out, and then get the hell out of there before the Empire arrives and get to Dweem.


Realistically, our best hope would be to have Torok take the Bantha to Dweem while we take his ship to the unknown planet.
Torok is the better pilot. But it stands to reason that we'd be better at finding Kristen.

I don't wanna bring the Empire down on some poor fuckers who already kinda don't like Jedi to begin with
>Kakarit
No. Just... just no.
>Ossus
Would have a LOAD of good shit but basicaply guranteed to have Inquisitors or god forbid Vader himself on our ass like within a year.
>Tython
Actually worse than Ossus! The last we hesrd of Tythom it's filled with Flesh Raiders and Sith technobeasts, so needless to say not a good spot. Yet.

But all is said an done, I'm gonna go with
>Unknown
>Dantooine
>Tython
Unknown lets us find a friend, needless to say, Dantooine is a good place to lay low all around, and Tython is just too good to pass up. We'd neer to male the B-est of B-lines to get there and it'd be a pain survivng there, but not impossible and well worth it.

I say we go to Unknown for now to rescue our Kristen, train up on Dantooine and then vanish on Tython when we get the chance.

The Empire never found out about them and they have a Jedi Master who can take care of the younglings.

It's the safest bet. Unless it was the Vong. WAIT SHIT FUCK

Anyway time to pick these apart.
>Dantooine
Literally the first place the Empire looks. For some reason. Really, the bad guys ALWAYS look here.

>Dweem
Eeeeeh. I guess it could work, but it also has a really high concentration of "Jedi", "battle droids", and lightsabers. So anyone with an enemies list consisting of Jedi, battle droids, and lightsaber wielders... yeah.

>Kakarit
I mean this one is contested between the Seps and Clones. Just a bad idea overall innit? Like Kashyyyk but you don't even get to hang out with Chewbacca. Or Starkiller's dad. Also it sounds like Kakarot. Eww.

>Ossus
I mean if you like radiation poisoning and living with cavemen.

>Tython
Stumbling around the Deep Core is a kind of super duper bad fucking idea. There's the Muur Talisman and Byss and Had Abbadon and fucking Prakith in there.
Yeah nah... don't feel like getting immediately murked by a 3000 year-old Jedi and her 5000 year-old Sith daddy dom while our younglings get turned into Rakghouls/yeeted by Papa Palps in about 12 seconds/whatever would happen on Had Abbadon. Probably instant corruption, or slow corruption we don't notice. Actually Had Abbadon might not be too bad/getting torn limb from limb by evil cultists while a body-hopping Dark Jedi deserter from Ruusan and the First Darth dab on you from atop their death pyramid.

>>
>>4006983
Sounds like Typhon it is, no Jedi there, just Je'daii.
>>
>>4006978
Nah, cant be the Vong OR the Chiss for that matter. They're humanoids but they're their own far seperate branches. You know who I think it is? Earth. They just happen to land in the amazon.

>>4006990
Think you mean Je'dead.
>>
So, we ready to put that Shadow training to the test?
I highly doubt Kristen is in a good situation.
I hope Arotta can make it out of Kakarit, but it's too dangerous for us to try to pull of a rescue with the younglings.
Maybe if we had Torok attempt a rescue.
>>
>>4006984
I doubt that for some reason. It probably isn't the Vong though yeah.

Probably going to be pretty quiet until Thrawn rocks up with the Empire of the Hand.

Or the straight up Empire.

Eh, potato potato.

Tangential but remember that time Darth Maul fought a Yuuzhan Vong? That was badass. Goddamn I fucking hate post-Filoni Maul, but that was badass.
Then again that /was/ set before TPM but it was still written after TCW season whenever Maul came back. 5?
>>
>>4006973
If it's only the Chiss we would be quite lucky. There is a lot of nightmarish shit in the unknown regions.

>>4006984
So long as it's not the Vong or the bugs I'll be happy. Fucking hell you can still even find ancient Sith alien colonies there.

>>4006983
The Empire never found out about Dweem.
>>
>>4006992
It wouldn't be the Vong's home :^)

OOOOHHHHHHHHHHHH Maybe it's Zonoma Sekot. I mean I know it's not. But it'd be nice to find Zonoma Sekot...

Think about the youngling's!
>>
Remember, Kristen is apprenticed to a Consular.
It was probably a diplomatic mission gone wrong.

Thankfully, because it was likely a diplomatic mission, the clones likely would've had to be non-lethal.

Bodyguards suddenly executing emissaries for no discernible reason is a real bad look and could fuck a lot of shit up.

Vote called for venturing into the Unknown regions to investigate Kristen's disappeared signal. A surprise to be sure, as I was almost certain you'd go after Arotta.

Say...I wonder how successful Torok was in escaping his squadron? He's a hotshot pilot with over one hundred confirmed kills (five hundred if you count a ship he blew up by dumb luck), trying to outmaneuver and out-dogfight his Clone Squadron.

It takes you the better part of an hour to set charges on critical structures of the chapter house. From support beams to underground reservoirs, and even the very foundations themselves, you place enough explosives around the compound to make a Mandalorian blush. All of them are set to motion activation; until the time Torok arrives and he finishes refueling, they will remain inert-

You can sense him just before he comes, a tremor in the Force. The communiqué on your wrist begins to chirp wildly as the Boss Bantha’s scanners detect a ship exiting from hyperspace. Even with the midday sun above the skies of Nazira, you can still make out a faint comet in the sky, one that defies all known laws of physics and veers in all manner of direction...

...that could only have been your fellow Salamander. Nobody short of Skywalker himself would even think about doing triple-barrel corkscrew in the middle of the atmosphere.

“Stay calm,” you say to the Younglings. “He’s a friend.”

As it lands adjacent to the Bantha, you can tell that the Cathar Claw has seen better days. Scorch marks run along the outer hull, and more than one panel’s been either shorn off or halfway to melting. The astromech droid in front of the cockpit has run out of power, and for all intents and purposes, appears dead to the world. Somehow, the ship hasn’t melted or otherwise turned to slag from Force knows many jumps it had to suffer through.

But the same could not be said about the pilot. With only a rag around his head as an impromptu bandage, your brother in all but blood leaps out of his damaged fighter, and speeds towards you with a tired, but exultant grin upon his face.

“Farren!” Torok roars, sweeping you up into his arms. For the nth time in as many years as you’ve known him, the Cathar nearly crushes the breath and the lungs they inhabit. “You’re alive!”

“...we...confirmed this...when we spoke last...” you wheeze out, “...but it’s good...to see you...as well...Salamanders...”

"Forever!" He finally releases you, oblivious to how you have to gasp for breath. His eyes turn towards the Bantha, and the group of children that linger at the hangar. “...those are the younglings, you mentioned?”

“...yes.”

“...and your master?”

Beckoning him to follow, you sprint towards the fuel cells across the landing pad. “...we’ve got an hour to refuel your ship and make whatever repairs we can. That’s the most I’ll allow before we have to leave.”

"...then lead the way."

>>For the next hour, you and Torok worked on repairing his starfighter.
>>During this time, you filled him in on what happened, and what your next course of action is.

The Cathar hisses out a particularly off-color curse as he hammers a new section of paneling onto his ship. “A Sith Lord attacked the temple? Where the kriff did they come from? I thought Skywalker had killed the ringleader in charge of the Separatists!”

“If only...” you mutter back, wrenching a half-melted piece of circuitry and wiring. “Rule of Two, remember? Intel from Obi-Wan Kenobi concluded that there was a ‘Darth Sidious’ controlling the senate...

“...kriffing Sith...” He grunts as he starts to weld a component shut. “...I thought you and your master were in charge of hunting users of the Dark Side.”

If it had been anybody else, you might have taken grave offense to his choice of words. But you elect to remain calm as you help him insulate the cockpit. “We are. But Dooku was always at the forefront of the war, and the task the Council gave us was to hunt down Dark Jedi. No Dooku because Master Larid detests head-on battles and we had to stop more Dark Jedi from joining him. And no Sidious because the Council believed that was ‘eyes-only’ for their investigation.”

He spits on the ground. “Force take the Council and their arrogance! If they let you and Master Larid investigate, you would have found the rat bastard months ago...”

“I appreciate the vote of confidence, but what’s done is done. If the Clones betrayed the Jedi...I fear what will happen if we remain too long in civilized space.”

“And that’s why we’re going to Unknown Regions, no? Now of all times is when Salamanders must stick together. We are rescuing our sister!”

You nod. “Yes...yes we are.”

His lips part, revealing teeth in a feral, pleased grin. “And what of Arotta? You have the coordinates from where your signal reached, no?”

It takes you a moment to answer. “...Kristen’s signal is closer. And I’d rather not have a ship full of younglings within ten parsecs of a Clone battle group.”

“Good reason. And let unpleasant, horned space-devil stew before you come and save her. The look on her face will be priceless if her most heated rival saves her.”

...you offer no comment beyond a violent cough into your sleeve.

Then, to his astromech droid (an R3-series, you idly note), he pokes with a sharp claw. “Oy, wakey-wakey, my little friend! I hope you enjoyed your nap. It’s time to get underway again!”

The droid jolts to life, screeching in dismay...only to suddenly stop as it discovers that instead of being in the frantic firefight it had been when it shut down, it is on a “safe” planet far removed from the battle. Turning towards its master, it trills and hums indignantly, shaking as much as it can within the confines of the interceptor.

“I promise a full cleaning and detox once we’re out of here, yes?” He points towards the Bantha. “We have small army of kids that can sponge you down on our way to rescue our sister. And then you can rejoin my ship!”

You don’t need to understand binary to know when a droid is grumbling. But you cut in with a side glance towards your friend. “The younglings are not your personal servants.”

“Shhhhhh...” he quiets you, “We’ll call it ‘an exercise in the Force.’”

“I am not turning into my master,” you declare flatly.

>>Line Break

Within moments after your repairs, the Bantha and the Claw are underway and off-world. And within seconds, the two ships jump to hyperspace. The hyperspace route you planned to take into the Unknown Regions would take the better part of a week and a half. You have to skirt across the common trade routes.

Every so often, you have to stop to make sure that you and Torok are in the same system, linking up after every jump, and lingering for no more than a handful of minutes. Both of you take this precaution to make sure that the other doesn’t inadvertently jump too far ahead, as well as dole out supplies so that your friend wouldn’t starve.

"Alright, everybody gather around..." you said on the first day. As the children file around you, you unearth a container and set twelve combat remotes, one for each youngling. "Just because we happen to be on the run doesn't mean I'm about to let you shirk your training. Now more than ever."

They have no response to that, other than confused nods and looks at each other. It seems that they're still in shock of the sudden uprooting that you had to perform, all the worse by the Calamity. Even if you and Master Larid felt it the worst, they had to have felt it as well.

Exhaling deeply, you sit down, spreading your arms in a helpless gesture. "...there isn't any way for me to say this. But the old way of life we knew...we can never go back to it. I'm sure some of you have already heard from those who eavesdropped on...Master Torok's conversations with me, and what he's scouted from the wider galaxy...but to keep it brief, the Jedi have been framed for a crime we did not commit. The temple on Coruscant has been destroyed, and several of our brothers and sisters have fallen to this terrible evil."

That's as clean as you can cut it without going into the worst details. And even then, the news is enough to nearly set off a panic. It's only by the virtue of some of their elders' training and your own firm presence that keeps them from succumbing into their despair.

"...so where are we going?!" Luaine demands, always so headstrong even among the eldest. How she hasn't made Padawan is anybody's guess. Master Larid had suggested performing some of the Initiate Trials at Nazira, but with him unconscious and you and Torok still only Padawans yourselves...promoting more Jedi without an appropriate command structure would be nothing but disaster.

"The Unknown Regions," you truthfully answer. "Masters Torok and I are going to rescue a friend of ours. As the planet she visited is far from the reaches of this nascent...Empire, it's safe for us to venture."

"What about our friends?" Joz asks, a rare Mon Calamari. His eyes are wide and unblinking, and full of trouble and concern. "And the masters and survivors? Will we be rescuing them as well?"

What a difficult answer. "...only if such a rescue does not put you in harm's way." Activating the remotes, you motion for them to stand up. "Turn on your lightsabers. It's time for us to begin..."

>>How will you train them?
>You train them as if nothing had happened, with each Youngling getting an appropriate challenge for their proficiency.
>You train them with an acute sense of danger, and set all the remotes to shoot as fast as Clone Troopers regardless of skill.
>>

>>You train them with an acute sense of danger, and set all the remotes to shoot as fast as Clone Troopers regardless of skill.
Not out of cruelty, but because they HAVE TO LEARN THIS. Even if they don't learn to deflect it back at their attackers perfectly, they can still learn how to dodge and *attempt* to block.

Each youngling takes the center of the storage compartment, nervous behind their blindfolds as they grip their lightsabers. With a flick of a switch, five control remotes fly before them, one for every member of a standard Clone fireteam. You have not told them that it was acceptable for them to otherwise move, but you want to see what will happen.

“Begin,” you say.

They perform just as well as you had expected. The younger ones can barely deflect one before they get zapped by another; the young adolescents hardly fare better, unaccustomed to the new rate of fire. And the eldest ones manage to bravely hold on their own for a little over twenty seconds before blaster fire penetrates their defense.

And none of them ever thought to move.

You let them take a few moments to lay on the floor, groaning and cursing. “...take ten minutes and we’ll do it again. And I want every single one of you to tell me what you could’ve done better...”

Perhaps you are taking a page out of your master’s book, even when you declared to Torok that you had no intention of doing so. Whereas you suspect your Master of being far too mercurial, you have little in the way of choice, and derive no sort of amusement. The Clones won’t show any mercy.

Still, you don’t even need to be adept in Sense abilities to feel the daggers going into your back every time you exit the room...

>The Younglings have grown more proficient in deflecting and blocking blaster bolts.
>You have lost influence with the Younglings.

>>You received the following message on your Jedi communicator:
"This is Master Obi-Wan Kenobi. I regret to report that both our Jedi Order and the Republic have fallen, with the dark shadow of the Empire rising to take their place. This message is a warning and a reminder for any surviving Jedi: trust in the Force. Do not return to the Temple. That time has passed, and our future is uncertain. Avoid Coruscant. Avoid detection. Be secret... but be strong. We will each be challenged: our trust, our faith, our friendships. But we must persevere and, in time, I believe a new hope will emerge. May the Force be with you always."

...just great.

With Master Larid unconscious and recovering from his heart attack, there is little in the ways of wisdom. However, with your temporary command of the Boss Bantha and access to all biometric systems and locks, that problem can be easily rectified.

For obviously very good reasons, you take a wide detour away from the cabinet on the far side of the library. Even with three different biometric locks and cortosis boxes to seal them away, you still get nervous just by being in the same room as them. Why your master decided to keep them is still a mystery, and he had always deflected your questions. But you respect your wishes and focus on the Jedi Holocrons your master had collected over the years.

And not just because tapped onto the opposite cabinet is a piece of paper that reads: “SITH HOLOCRONS. DANGEROUS! DO NOT TOUCH. REALLY. THAT MEANS YOU, FARREN.”

...a sad smile tugs at the corner of your lips, but you shake your head and press on with your task at hand. The airtight cabinet opens with a hiss as your fingers, eye and hair is scanned no less by three biometric locks. And the sight that greets you is nearly enough to bring tears to your eyes.

Dozens of holocrons, from spheroids and cuboids, pentagonal and hexagonic, line the shelves in all of their silent glory. The knowledge of generations of Jedi live within these semi-sentient constructs, dormant and waiting to dispense their wisdom and teachings from over hundreds of years into the present. Within the Boss Bantha the Jedi Order still lives.

Your emotional moment is cut short with the revelation that some of these holocrons refuse you access. Confused, you try again, grabbing a random relic off the shelf and accessing it with the Force...only to fail again...twice...and three times.

That’s when you consult the instructions your master left conveniently tapped to the inside of the cabinet.

>>Some Jedi Holocrons require a certain Force Rating in order to be opened.
>>With your Force Rating of (1), you are limited to a certain number of Holocrons you can access.

>>The following are the Holocrons you can access, as well as your Master’s brief description of the Gatekeeper within.
>>Please select a holocron to open:

Much as you’d be interested in speaking to a man your master found to be impressive, you decide to go for the mysterious holocron. It is a simple thing, a blue core placed delicately within the center of a cuboid It bears no markings or other obvious indications that this is a Jedi holocron.

If this was created during the First Jedi Purge...the wisdom the gatekeeper would provide would be indispensable in the wake of this tragedy. Even if the name attached to this relic was extremely ominous.

You reach inwards into the Force, feeling the seams and edged of the holocron. Something clicks as you manipulate its surface, and the relic yields to your touch. Its edges detach, spinning with the current of the Force as the swirling, azure contents within spill out into the little room.

Without warning, the corners begin to spin, gyrating around the center mass of the relic like a comet orbiting a planet. Suddenly, the holocron emits flash of light, a piercing teal that causes you to shield your eyes. The waves of the Force tremble as the object in your hands pulses with an unnatural warmth, as if you held within your fingers a beating heart.

...in all your years as a Jedi, you can safely say that this has never happened before. Not when your masters in the temple presented a lesson from an ancient Jedi, or showing the contents of a great work of art. You know very little about the actual process and maintenance of holocrons, Jedi or otherwise, but if you were to hazard a guess...

>Take 8 on Cunning.

...this is probably the first time this holocron had been opened. Or at least opened in a very, very long time.
The holoocron floats slowly to the ground, settling itself a comfortable few inches above the floor. A bright blue beam of light emits from its top, projecting nothing but static at first. Then, the image shakes, the interference parts, and in its place...

“Only those who are not strong in the Force are allowed access to my knowledge,” the elderly woman says, with the wisdom only a Jedi could possessed. Her eyes are shadowed, hidden underneath your hood. Yet you still feel the weight of her gaze as a physical object, and her voice holds a powerful gravity that compels you to listen. “But I see that you are searching for something among the living dead. I hope that you have picked the right specter to haunt you.”

Her voice is old and weathered, but within it courses strength and an iron will. And it compels you to answer, but not in the way you think she would want. “...the living dead?”

“Is that not what a gatekeeper is? We are simulacra, imprints and echoes of those long since dead, locked within and opened only when the need to dispense our knowledge sets upon our owners...”

The gatekeeper offers you a look that you can feel through her hood. “...many assume that we are nothing more than djinn to be summoned forth from our lantern prisons at a moment’s convenience. And that we would answer their every question and teach them by nothing more than the virtue of their talent in the Force.”

She says that last word as if she had swallowed something distasteful. But as quick as it is, her foul mood passes, and she addresses you once more in that same lilting : “Tell me, Padawan, how many years has it been since the reign of Darth Nihilus and Darth Sion?”

Darth Nihilus? The Lord of Hunger...you had fought a Dark Jedi to a standstill on one of the planets he had consumed. And you had done your reading within Master Brethon’s uncensored report...

“It’s been nearly four thousand years,” you answer. The gatekeeper digests this knowledge, pursing her lips. As she does so, you take the opportunity to ask your own question, “Who are you? And what do you know about the First Jedi Purge?”

“That is two questions,” she chides you, but not unkindly. “Ask one, and I will answer in kind.”

...oh, what the hell. You may as well spend the duration of the trip doing something as opposed to moping in the cockpit. “You lived through the First Jedi Purge?”

“Live...now that is a very interesting word you have chosen. To live would imply that I had merely walked my way through the carnage and slaughter, unharmed and unscathed. No, young one. I did not live. I had survived. I survived and emerged all the stronger in spite of what stood before me, against me...”

You try not to let your excitement show, even as you struggle to speak past the lump in your throat. “I need your help...we need your help.”

She holds an admonishing finger. “It is my turn to ask a question. But do not fret; it circles around back to your own question. Earlier, you had referred to the terror of Darth Nihilus as the ‘First Jedi Purge’...which implies that a second one has occurred, am I not correct?”

...this gatekeeper is unlike any one you’ve ever met. Some were as mercurial and joyous as spring; others held the temper of a summer storm, and the lightning strictness of an impatient demand for perfection. To a certain extent, the holocrons are semi-sentient...but you’ve never heard of one behaving like this at all!

But in answering her question, you reply, “...yes. We’re...all of us aboard this ship, me, my master, and twelve younglings are among the handful of survivor that escaped the Great Jedi Purge.”

For the first time, the projection appears visibly concerned. “A ‘Great Jedi Purge’, you say...and how long ago was this?”

You give her a flat look. “My question first...”

But to your surprise, you see what might have been a smile play on her lips. “You are learning already.”

“...my master is a Jedi Shadow, and he had presented me with a report about the terror of Darth Nihilus. The Jedi Temple on Coruscant has little information, claiming it as a dark age within our order’s history. But in the uncensored report my master gave me...I don’t think he mentioned anybody matching your description.

“Who are you?”

The gatekeeper offers no answer for a good minute, filling the room with nothing but subsonic vibrations of the holocorn, and your own labored breathing. Then...

She sighs wearily. “This would not have been her doing. No...my erasure from the annals of history would have been the work of her sycophants, those wretched companions of hers...the fool had every reason to detest me...”

The gatekeeper cuts herself off, returning her attention to you and declaring: “They called me a Betrayer...but you ask for my name?” the woman lilts her voice in a wry, sardonic tone, “I have gone by many names in the course of my life. Labels and titles that have come and gone, ill-equipped to consolidate and define the experiences that led me to who I am.

“You, however, may call me Kreia.” The Jedi woman nods her head towards you. “And if you would have me, I am more than willing to play the role of mentor once more. However, I would very much like to take my question now. When did this ‘Great Jedi Purge’ begin?”

“...only a few days ago...” you answer, and she is visibly caught off-guard. Honestly, just venting about the fact that an actual purge happened is cathartic in its own way. Even if you’re talking to the holographic ghost of a woman dead for nearly four thousand years. “...to keep it short,the Sith infiltrated the government, and turned the Republic into an Empire.”

Kreia leans forward, visibly intrigued by this. “The first lesson is to not leave your mentor wanting for answers. I am quite curious to see how those power-hungry fools were able to accomplish what Darths Malak, Nihilus and Sion were unable to accomplish...”

It ain't bullshit mah nigga. Kreia's been on both sides just like Revan and realized no body wins when the Force gets it way. Oh yeah sure, watching all these epic struggles between Jedi and Sith is cool for you here, but in the wider Galaxy these niggas getting drafted, illeteracy is rampant, the economy sucks, and the government can't stop being corrupt for more than five seconds.

Literally every major conflict in Star Wars happened cause the Jedi and Sith were at each other's throats, so Kriea figured fuck it, there shouldn't be either. One's crippled by dogma and the other are a bunch of force crack heads.

“To build your façade upon a lie is akin placing a foundation upon sand; the further you build your cover, the more that foundation will strain and groan under the weight of your deception. And when you cannot bear any more lies or duplicity, your structure will crumble under the weight of its own complexity.

“The best deceptions are the ones with the truth mixed in. Build your falsehoods upon a stable foundation, a truth you can easily dispense with, and it will withstand all external threats that would try to break through or tear it down...”

Just before the final jump to hyperspace, scans were taken of the system. As far as you can tell, the signal came from the third planet, the only one among five capable of supporting life. A particularly large asteroid field rings the edge of the system, with debris large enough to hide the Bantha and the Claw.

“We’ll get data for a few hours, no more than a day,” you tell Torok. “We haven’t had any encounters with any hostile species, but I’m not about to start now. We play it safe until we need to.”

“I read you,” he chimes from his cockpit, “Let's go save our sister."

>>Exiting jump from hyperspace in three...two...one...

The system is busier than you thought. Unknown ships of all classes bustle about from all of the planets, each going to and from the third planet. Most of them appear to be transport ships; you can just barely make out large quantities of lifeforms within them using the Force. As for warships...they aren’t spaceships as much as someone had strapped a hyperdrive onto an ornate wooden ship of old.

The largest ones aren’t quite the length or firepower of a Venator, but you aren’t willing to go toe-to-toe with them, outnumbered twelve to one.

As mentioned earlier, you take refuge in the debris belt, parking the Bantha within the hollow of a large asteroid. Scans are run, tests are being conducted, and traffic and communications are being monitored from within the sector. The “play dead” switch has been thrown, and all ventral heating ports sealed; you’re not taking any risks.

Most of the communications are in an alien tongue, a harsh language that bears little resemblance to anything bearing Galactic Basic. However, Master Larid’s analysis program is nothing but state-of-the-art, and from the scattered Basic that you feed into it, the computer begins to spit out relevant data...

>>You have discovered the Mylar System, occupied by the Tof Kingdom.
>>The Tof are a species of Near-Humans that originate from the Firefist Sector.
>>The Mylar System is considered to be an outpost of the Tof and a prison planet and penal colony, where slaves from across the Unknown Regions are put to hard, backbreaking labor.

The younglings jump at the snarl that enters Torok’s voice, and the waves of anger that permeate from his very being. “Slavers...” the Cathar hisses angrily, “...our sister has fallen into the hands of slavers...”

Even as you can’t fault his anger on account of what happened to his species, you put a firm hand on his shoulders. “Easy,” you warn him, “Control your emotions. You’re frightening the younglings.”

It takes a few moments and several angry breaths before your fellow Salamander regains control of his temper and his senses. “...forgive me. I just think of the horrors that my people had suffered, and imagining what Kristen is going through...”

“And we’re going to end it,” you deliver concisely. Suddenly, the console beeps, spitting out a new string of transmissions from the ships. “Let’s see what we can work with...”

{...damn, the drive’s out for the /Redoubt/...that blue-skin that Captain Reeno found a few months ago? He’s good with hyperdrives and space engines...see if you can’t bribe him to let his slave come over for a few hours...}

{...profits have never been better...this next shipment of refined hfredium will allow the next generation of ironclads to be finally realized...}

{...I want one Twi’lek for every hour my slave fixes your engines...}

{...the viceroy’s instructions were clear; you are not to harm or otherwise damage any of the goods. If we are to put the best of the galaxy’s dregs on auction, then they cannot be marred or otherwise bruised...}

{...do not work your laborers too hard...there are just as many females in the galaxy that desire pleasure slaves as much as we do...}

...and that causes both of your feelings to spike into the red.

Oooo I hope so. Maybe we can have HER look after the younglings, seeing as how she already helped a bunch during their gathering. You think there's another planet rich in crystals other than Ilum? Or will we have to accompany these kids to Ilum when/if they complete their training? Worse case scenario we can send them out in groups of 3 or 4 when they're ready to have them go out and gather parts for their saber, culminating in each group visiting Ilum one after the other.

He's a suspicious weirdo.

Also he always operated on his own, not really cut out for being a General. The same way An'ya Kuro or Tholme operated.
>>
>>4008546
I think he's just the sort to assume the worst.
There's probably "Apprentice has become Sith Lord" contingencies as well.

But honestly, the clone army was suspicious as fuck.

I do hope we meet with Ahsoka down the line.
While she isn't exactly a Jedi, that hardly matters at this point.

>>4008453
Master Larid keeps all manner of currency within the ship, most of which is plundered from the wealth of Dark Jedi among other characters of low standard. As of the current moment, the Boss Bantha has the following currencies within is vault:

>2.5 million Galactic Standard Credits
>100,000 Peggats (Huttese currency in the outer rim, a sum worth 500,000 Credits)
>3 refined Aurodium Ingots (Outer Rim currency, a sum worth 900 million Credits)

In conclusion? You're pretty loaded, and can easily afford more than basic amenities.

Sorry for the delay, I had some heavy reading to.

>>4008646

“I hope you know what you’re doing, brother,” Torok’s voice comes from the communicator in your ear. The Cathar had been reluctant to part with his Interceptor, even just for a short while, but none of the younglings had any training in piloting. Thus, he sourly sits in the cockpit of the Bantha, ready to drop you into the atmosphere.

“This isn’t my first infiltration,” you drawl as the hatch opens, filling the airlock with the cold and biting wind of the upper atmosphere. With your rebreather on and equipment firmly secured, you reach the edge of the door and prepare for drop. “This just happens to be my first infiltration that doesn’t involve my master in any role, supporting or otherwise.”

He grunts at that. “Be careful. I would hate to have to rescue you.”

“Don’t.” The reply comes quickly. “If the worst happens or I don’t come back by seventy-two hours, I want you to take the Bantha and get the younglings to safety. I /mean/ it. Those twelve children are the future of the Jedi Order. You and Master Larid should be able to make alright with yourselves.”

The Cathar growls, a low noise of frustration. “Make sure it doesn’t come to that. Because I am not leaving you behind. Not when you didn’t abandon me.”

If only he knew how close you were to making that call in the opposite direction. “...may the Force be with you, brother. Salamanders...”

“FOREVER!” the two of you shout, and with that declaration, you allow yourself to fall off the ship and into the empty void of the sky. You allow yourself a look into the sky as the Bantha’s hatch closes, and the Sojourner-class ship breaks atmosphere and returns into space. Your heart fills with a resolute determination as you turn your attention back onto the planet below...

>>Line break

The drop site you had chosen was a badlands, a desolate place on an already arid and unpleasant planet. By no means was it a barren planet the likes of Tatooine, but vegetation is sparse, located only in the more temperate polar regions. Canyons and mesas dominate an overwhelming majority of the planet, at least 71% landmass as compared to bodies of water.

The Force slows your descent, bringing you from terminal velocity to a comfortable glide as you settle into a barren mesa. A quick scan of the area confirms that there are no locals, slaves or otherwise. Either this place didn’t warrant an outpost, or the Tof had already taken whatever they had and moved on.

Fishing out a monocular from your belt, you aim it towards Serino spaceport, a bustling hub of activity a few clicks to the north-west. Transports of all shapes and sizes offload their cargo, the sleek and contemporary starships contrasting sharply among the Tof’s wooden hulls. This cargo could have been anything, from whatever ore they mine from the other planets, to slaves for the upcoming Trade.

Intelligence gathered back on the Bantha confirmed that while the auction would take place in Serino, the slave pens themselves were scattered across the planet. From mineral deposits to hewn and shorn lumber, local foodstuffs and starship fuel are processed in facilities across the planet. All are connected by an extensive monorail system, with each facility sending and receiving resources to and from the capital.

The Tof could not number more than a handful compared to all the slaves both on-planet and within the system. There had to have been at least a three hundred to one ratio of slaves to masters. Fear is an effective tool to keep slaves in line; shock devices and explosive collars kept them docile, but all it takes is a singular cruel and painful example to be made to cow the rest into line.

Suddenly, the air fills with the distinctive whine of an approaching engine, and you hunker down behind a rock outcrop. Tracking the source of the noise with your monocular reveals a large transport, easily the size of a Jawa sandcrawler, albeit with more emphasis on length than imposing height. To better have more room and accommodations for slaves, you sourly realize.

But something is wrong. One of the engine blocks appears to be severely damaged. The extent of the damage is such that only some kind of particularly wild animal could have inflicted such devastation. You have little desire to go toe-to-toe with something that leaves meter-long scrapes through whatever ablative armor attached to the...wood of the transport.

Your head hurts trying to process the technological gap of the Tof. Had the thought occurred to them that using wood as the standard material for their ships and vehicles might not have been a good idea? Or maybe there was something they did to the wood that makes it space-worthy...but given that the off-worlder ships that attend the Great Trade are metal...

The hatch slams down, revealing several of the Tof angrily marching down and around their vehicle. The finer points of their language escape you, but you can tell that they’re upset about the damage. They argue, pointing fingers at the transport and each other before some consensus is made. Two of them disappear within the bowels of the machine, only to reappear moments later with a prisoner being stiffly marched between them.

You’ve never seen the likes of the poor soul. It is as if someone had taken a human being and gave him the color of a twi’lek or a togruta; in his case, a uniformly blue complexion from what his prisoner’s robes doesn’t cover. From beneath thick locks of golden hair, eyes the color of glaciers shoots his captors a vicious glare from as they point to him and then the damaged engine.

“Fix,” one of the Tof demands in crude and heavily accented Basic, thrusting a box of tools into the prisoner’s hands and pointing towards more equipment within the transport. “Fix quickly!”

He takes one look at the damage, and instantly knows that the worst of the damage is beyond the equipment that he has. Not that he’s about to reveal it to his captors. Turning to them, he demands, “Why should I?”

For his impertinence, one of the guards viciously jabs him in the stomach. Tools and metal bits go flying as the prisoner collapses. Their leader, identifiable by the more ornate clothing that looked like it belonged in a period piece, shouts angrily at his men. Chastised, the guards begrudgingly step back from the gasping prisoner.

“...fix quickly,” their leader says calmly, running his fingers almost tenderly through the golden hair. It turns into a grip, and he brings his head towards the prisoner’s to meet his challenging gaze head-on. “Fix quickly, receive reward.”

The ‘good cop’ routine doesn’t seem to work. The prisoner’s defiance remains as he struggles to get up. “Give me my freedom. And my ship back.”

“No.” The Tof points towards the transport. “You pick. Slave of choice. Yours to keep.”

The prisoner laughs bitterly. “I’ve got half a mind to just run; damn the collar, and take my chances with the Roque Ja.”

The leader smiles an ugly grimace. “You die. Wager how long you last.”

“My people would rather die on our feet than live kneeling.”

“That so?” he whistles, and one of his men brings out a long line of prisoners. All are outfitted with slave collars and share the same accouterments of dirty rags and coverings that just barely protect their modesty. A dozen pitiful men, women and children from a myriad collection of species, and some you’ve never even seen before, are herded into a line in front of the prisoner.

“What say them? Hmmm?” the leader says, and walks up to a cowering Rodian. And without warning, he draws a wicked knife from his belt and slices the slave’s throat. The alien collapses into a choking pile, and is cruelly kicked off the platform and onto the ground. You grimace as you sense the life drain out of him and soak into the sands of Mylar-3. “Die standing or live kneeling?”

(cont.)
>>
All of them hurriedly kneel, and the leader turns towards the prisoner, whose defiance has turned into a pure and burning hatred. “Fix. Quickly,” the leader repeats with emphasis, “Or they die kneeling. You valuable. They not. Plenty to go around. Will get more at Trade.”

“One day, I will kill you,” the prisoner swears as he takes the box of tools. He lifts a wrench threateningly, uncaring as the Tof draw their weapons. All the leader can do is smile at the futile gesture, motioning for his men to stand down. “I’ll kill you slowly and feed your corpse to the Roque Ja, you bastard!"

The leader shrugs. “Work! But I not cruel. Still give you slave.”

“Void take you, you bastard...” the prisoner hisses as he’s poked and prodded towards the damaged engine. “Void take you, and all of your wretched kind!”

This planet is off most known charts. The Empire shouldn't come here for a good bit even if the Jedi rumors get off the ground. We can help ensure they don't by making sure only slaves live to spread the rumors. Hopefully we can convince them to keep quiet but we should be long gone even if they are forced to talk.

Assuming we can get by security at the Trade with the ship without them raising a ruckus, this would actually give us a perfect cover to go to scope it out. We can tell them we're keeping the normal slaves with us as insurance to keep important one in line. Use the blueboi as our cover while we look around the auction. He couldn't be worse than Torok. I hope.

You’ve had more than enough. To be a Jedi is to defend the weak and helpless from evil. And though your path is one of a Shadow, a ruthless hunter of the Dark Side, that does mean you can just so casually abandon the slaves to their fate. And if Kristen or Torok are in your place...hell, even Arotta would’ve been driven to action.

You slow your breathing, allowing the anger to dissipate into the air. Justice would be delivered onto the Tof, but it would be done dispassionately, and without rage. From your belt, you draw an ion grenade and aim it towards the cockpit of the transport. The one of the engines is out, and just to sweeten the deal, you’d take out the command consoles and any sort of communications device.

You lob it into the air, readying your weapons as you watch its descent. The noise of the impact alerts the Tofs, who whip around at the sound of the metal against the metal plating. But they’re too late. The ion grenade detonates with a high-pitched whine, frying all electronics within a three-meter radius.

Before you even give them time to recover, you leap from the rock, augmenting your leap and landing with the Force as you land right in the middle of the lowered platform. The Tof stare at you, seemingly incredulous at the idea that somebody would attack them. But you are quick to disabuse them of that notion, igniting your lightsabers with a snap-hiss.

“Jedi!” one of the prisoners cries, and that’s the entire signal that you need to begin.

You charge the nearest Tof, bisecting his rifle with a single swing. He barely has any time to register the attack before your second ‘saber cuts him open from hip to shoulder. Even before he collapses onto the ground, you’ve already moved onto the next Tof, all of whom are scrambling to bring their weapons to bear.

Some of the slaves flee as the fight begins. Others, galvanized by the display, charge their own masters, picking up weapons from the fallen Tof. The slave leader shouts orders, likely demanding backup, and draws what you believe to be a vibro-sword...

...only to be blindsided by the blue alien as he delivers a punishing blow with a wrench to the back of his head. He collapses onto the metal platform, twitching violently as the prisoner rifles through his pockets. He pulls out a remote, a dark and glittering satisfaction on his face as he depress a singular button.

With a low whine and a pop, the slave collars deactivate, falling off the necks of the slaves. Even as more Tof slavers pour out from the interior of the transport, they themselves are set upon by the slaves within. Together, you manage to form a coherent fighting unit against the Tof slavers...

It’s over in less than a minute. Their weapons could not hope to best your lightsaber, and the sheer quantity of slaves is its own quality. By the time the battle’s come to an end, only a few of the Tof remain alive. Some have been completely buried underneath a mass of prisoners who savagely beat them into bloody submission. Others are still being pulled out of the transport, and meet a similar fate as their cohorts.

You turn off your ‘sabers, and allow the prisoners to be the own architects of their justice.

Still, there’s the Tof leader, who somehow survived being brained by the blue humanoid...until now. The leader cowers, scrambling back as far as he can as the engineer advances slowly on him. Ice-glacier eyes are full with hatred and righteous cause, and a small bit of sadism as the slaver’s back hits a crate.

There’s nowhere for him to run now.

“WAIT! GIVE YOU-” The leader is unable to finish his offer as the prisoner brings his wrench to smash into his captor’s head. The Tof falls to the ground, twitching and seizing, but it doesn’t stop the prisoner.

The blue alien falls upon him, and continues to savagely beat the slaver with his tool. The noises quickly turn wet as something cracks and gave way, and the pleas turn into a wet, pathetic gurgle before fading away entirely.

The rest of the slaves are content to huddle amongst themselves, finding family members or looting the corpses of the Tof. Some even approach you reverently, touching the hem of your robes as if you are some holy man. You don’t have time to humor them before they part before the engineer’s approach.

Ignorant of the blood and brain matter that’s splattered across his clothes, the blue humanoid alien stands, feeling the empty space around his neck where his collar used to be. Then, he turns to you, an unreadable expression on his face as he drops the bloodied wrench and slowly walks in front of you.

“...sorry about the mess,” the alien says in a voice completely and utterly devoid of any regret, “...you’re a long way from civilization, Jedi.”

You shrug, clipping your lightsabers back onto your belt. “I’m afraid I don’t recognize your species.”

“Ferroan, Outer Rim. It isn’t often that we travel out of our home system. And that makes me ‘exotic’ to the Tof...” He pauses to kick the corpse of a nearby slaver. “...and less frightening than a Chiss on account of my eyes.”

“What’s a Chiss?”

“Essentially somebody like myself, except with red eyes,” he answers succinctly, “And even more reclusive on account of living in the Unknown Regions.”

The alien stretches, popping the myriad vertebrae along his back. “But that’s enough pleasantries. The name’s Keimann, and I’m a Ferroan a long way from home. And you are, Master Jedi...?”

You shake your head, electing to hide your rank. “Not a master. But I am Farren Gaelle of the Jedi Order.”

(cont.)
>>
He seems surprised, but he makes no note of it. “Very well, Jedi Gaelle. So what’s brought you to this particular shithole of the galaxy? I take it that the Republic’s had enough of the Tof and their slaving raids...”

You cast a glance towards the other slaves, who seem to have emptied out of the transport for the first time in several days. There are at least three dozen of them, species from all over the galaxy who wince and bathe in the light of the sun. You spot twi’leks and duros, mirialans and iktochi, bothans and zabraks, even the odd wookiee...and those are the only species you recognize! There are several others that you can’t place a match on, undoubtedly natives of the Unknown Regions.

The placement of the Mylar system is certainly advantageous for the Tof. They can collect a plethora of species from both the known galaxy and the unexplored spaces, and selling both to the highest bidders. How they've managed to get away with it for so long is a mystery...

But you return your attention to Keimann, gesturing to the corpses around the transport. “You said that there’s some kind of predator around here?”

He nods. “Roque Ja. Big, quadruped mammals about half as big as a kryat dragon, but twice as nimble as a result of it. It isn’t uncommon for transports to go missing because of them. ‘Slaves à la carte’ are what we to refer to missing caravans.”

You aren’t quite sure what to make of his comment. “Then we better get a move on. If they’re as dangerous as the Tof think they are, then we all need to relocate to somewhere safer.”

Keimann nods. “Agreed...there’s a canyon a few kilometers down to the south-east with several cave structures. Nobody ever goes there since it’s a great distance from the monorail.”

You cast a look towards the half-destroyed, half-chewed engine. “Will she make it?”

The alien’s eyes glitter, accepting the challenge. “That can be arranged...”

>You herded the slaves back into the transport, stripping the Tof of any useful equipment.
>The Rodian slave was given a funeral pyre, but the Tof were left to rot in the mesa.
>You take the transport to a nearby canyon, and hide it within a cave.

>>You speak of the end of the Clone Wars, and the reorganization of the Republic in the First Galactic Empire.
>>However, you choose to omit the fact that the Jedi are being exterminated.
>>You told the gathered slaves that you’d initially came to Mylar-3 to rescue Kristen, your fellow Jedi.
>>However, after seeing the suffering of the slaves and the cruelty of the Tof, you’ve decided to free them as well.

>You have gained influence with Slaves.
>You have gained influence with Keimann.

“There’s no way I can guarantee anybody’s safety,” you say frankly, somehow cool as the gazes of dozens of slaves are trained on you, “Both here and once we get off-world. The Empire’s been cracking down on non-humans, and frankly, there’s still a bunch of Separatists left in the Outer Rim as well. It’s a dangerous time to be a liberated slave...”

Several of them look uncomfortable, more so the aliens who could not even think about passing off as human. You can hardly blame them. They’d be out of the frying pan of Mylar-3 and into the fire that’s the Galactic Empire and oppression of the Sith. And that’s a fate they’d only have if their liberation was a success...

Doubt begins to set in. They being to whisper, some touching their necks where the collars had been. You shift uncomfortably in your seat as they look uncertainly, first at you and then the distant spaceport. Were your efforts for naught?

“I’m in,” Keimann suddenly declares, inspecting a pair of pistols he’d looted off a corpse. He spins them in his fingers, slapping them down at a pair of borrowed holsters at his belt. “The Tof are long overdue for payback. What better way to help a Jedi rescue his friend than to raise a little hell? Consider my services at your disposal, Jedi. I know where we can get a whole lot of weapons.”

It’s as if he had taken a blade to the unease in the room. His declaration galvanizes the rest of the former slaves. And one by one, they slowly vocalize their agreement at wanting to fight, and provide their own insights into the planet.

“I want to fight!” a twi’lek shouts, a young woman only a few years your age. “I know the locations of all the slave pens across the world.”

“Rwrrraaar,” vocalizes the wookiee, clenching a rifle and vibrosword in his hands. He had been sentenced to the mines, and knew the best places where an explosion would collapse the entire structure. “Wrrrorrrar.” And how to turn the entire fuel refinery into a mushroom cloud that could be seen from orbit.

“I know where the Tof keep all of their food supplies!” voices a duros.

“I know the times of the patrols around the spaceport!” adds a nagai, a native of the Unknown Regions.

“I know where they keep some of their fighter craft!” cries a bothan.

Everybody is soon clamoring, shouting over each other as the pelt you with information about the planet. It isn’t long before each of the slaves has a weapon they plundered from the transport’s armory. Some carry blaster pistols, others bear carbines and rifles. Still there are those who clutch vibroswords and barbed whips, durasteel riot shields and stun batons.

Armed to the teeth and more than rearing for a fight, these are the people who an hour ago, had once been content to live on their knees, are now ready to fight and die for their freedom.

“...Master Jedi?” a small child tugs at your sleeve, a young human boy who reaches no higher than your waist. “If you’re looking for your friend...then you’d want to visit the Opulent Palace in the capital. They have a special jail for people that can’t be with the rest of us...”

You process this information...and give the child a warm smile, and gentle rustling of his hair. “Many thanks, young one. I’ll be sure to remember your words.”

As the child scampers off, Keimann gives you a knowing grin and an appreciative side glance. “All it takes is one spark, Farren; one spark to ignite the hearts of the downtrodden...and let burn the flames of rebellion.”

“Quite a flattering picture you paint for yourself,” you remark.

He looks puzzled. “I was referring to you, Jedi.”

>>Before you can storm the Opulent Palace, you will need to divert the main army away from the spaceport and create a diversion with a slave uprising.
>>There are at least four (4) sabotage missions that must be accomplished in order to cause a complete breakdown of Tof authority and ensure a successful slave revolution.

the slavers could go in high alert without energy, but it should create a lot of panic and confusion in their lines and that should help the other two parts of this revolt ( Dogfight combat & bombing and Charge ‘n barge firefight), and our rescue mission of Kristen.
maybe we could call torok and update him on what we are doing ? he could be our eye from above and of the solar system (he can keep an eye on the Opulent Palace too, so we know how fortified it is and what is happening there). It should help in some way or another.

I'll support this. He's basically our Ghetto-AWACS at the moment.

actually 1g of antimater releases energy equvilant to 21 tons of TNT when it annihilation.
what worries me is why they have anti-matter, since star wars ship nad power-plants use hypermatter to generate power, the only use of anti-matter seems to be for weapons.

The Tofs (and the Nagai for that matter) are deep Unknown region races that weren't even known to the galaxy proper until 4 ABY. It figures that they wouldn't be using galactic standard technology and might be relying on something somewhat more primitive but nonetheless effective. I'd still shoot for...

>The infiltration and destruction of the anti-matter fuel processing plant. [Stealth and sabotage mission]

...it's the only plan that does not immediately give away our intentions. The Tofs may seem dumb but are a pretty powerful and their technology is effective. They gave the nascent New Republic and Empire a heap of trouble shortly after Endor.

Destroying a fuel refining plant isn't necessarily a good idea since it's useful infrastructure that people will need after the war and rampant acts of terrorism can actually work against you in earning the public support.

Stealing weapons on the other hand? That's a military target and satisfies the goal of making the escaped slaves useful.

Attacking the barracks also helps, but downside of that is the fact that we kinda don't want to be the guy doing all the heavy lifting.

Worst nightmare for a tyrant is armed populace.

>>4009459
There is no public support to gain, this is a planet of slaves and slaveholders. Slaveholders opinions aren't going to become positive towards us in any case. Destruction of infrastructure is a good first step.

I think you might have mislaid some digits or mixed up some formulas. Antimatter annihilation converts the entire energy-mass equivalence of both sides into energy (neutrinos excluded), and the EME of 2g (1g of AM + 1g of M) of anti/matter is (according to the venerable E= MC^2) 0.002*(3*10^8)^2 = 1.8*10^14J of energy, which equates to 43.02kt of TNT (1kt of TNT equivalent is 4.184^12^12J).

For scale, the Hiroshima bomb had a yield of 15kt

Let's bully New York a bit to illustrate. 43kt would be enough to destroy Lower Manhattan and shatter windows for about three miles around, and that's from a single gram of antimatter. One kilogram of antimatter (43MT) would rival the largest atomic bomb ever detonated, make a crater nearly a mile wide, reduce the entire city to rubble and literally melt faces off as far away as New Brunswick.

If we start now, we can have the new Republic start building a Superweapon/Fleet to match the Death Star.

And if there's a viable alternative to Imperial Rule, we might just start seeing defections.

thats not a good idea, right after the jedi purge was when the empire had the most support form the population, and they still have the clone army which is 1000 times better at everything (including killing jedi) then the stormtroopers
>>
>>4009642
Yeah, but I'd much rather go against the Early Empire which is still recovering from the clone wars than the Late Empire shoving a million Star Destroyers up our ass

Public support doesn't mean much when you amass as much military power as the Emperor does.
>>
>>4009642
That's exactly why we must make a new republic ASAP.
See, if Palpatine attacks us for no reason beyond that there's maybe a Jedi here, he reveals himself a tyrant.

Even if the idea of a New Republic falls apart in months, the political fallout for curbstomping a Republican resurgence outside the Empire's borders will not disappear so long as Palpatine holds office and he will not relinquish his power.

If he won't kill us immediately, we can practice amiable diplomacy and poach former seperatist scientists that are now suffering under the anti-alien legistlation.
>>
>>4009648
It's not about public support, it's about offering a choice between Senate rule and Dictatorial rule.

The longer the choice exists, the worse off Palpatine is, seeing that the more he cracks down on his subjects, the more they think the carrot is better than the stick.

Furthermore, presuming there's corporate corruption in the Empire that palpatine cracks down on, it makes sense for corps on thin ice to migrate out of the Empire.

Essentially, Palpatine has to choose between hitting the brakes in his power grabs, declaring an unjust war for little to no gain or allow us grow into an increasingly more insidious and corruptive influence for his new empire over the years.

Palpatine's power is literally at its height right now.

We need to be laying low, not establishing new republics. This slave uprising is as loud as we can be for a while.
>>
>>4009700
Oh but that usually comes naturally. The Clone Troopers are there to hold us down.
>>
>>4009693
Or you do what the CIS did and start making enough droids to be a credible threat. The former CIS worlds are already likely to flip if we offer a decent system and the newly minted Empire is also not likely to want to go to another war, however Palpy wants it. Furthermore, this new power struggle will be initiated by Palpatine and thus lower his social credit score - limiting his options, which is the whole reason the did the coup in the first place. And the more he clamps down the bigger the shitfest will get. We are doing what the rebels did, just a lot sooner and before the Empire can shit out enough troops to cover the galaxy.
>>
>>4009687
That's also a victory for us. Moment we get news of this, we hightail it from the new republic and Palpatine has to deal with feeding recruits to the future rebel alliance due to his frankly insane decree of perpetual war and investing much needed resources fighting against an enemy that probably doesn't even exist anymore.

Ultimately, the Empire right now is as weak as it's going to get.
They've got no jedi and the war has taken it's toll. I wonder how long he can afford to maintain a military economy when as soon as his empire was done, pretty much all future troopers started using much cheaper gear.

The more Palpatine pushes the Empire to be like North Korea, the shorter his reign is going to be as more and more people start to eventually get sick of it.
If it starts off really badly, the first impressions will last forever.
>>
>>4009693
Well, the thing is, we wouldn't actually RULE the New Republic or have official ties to it.
Officially, it would originate as a colony of slaves who rebellled against their criminal overlords and decided to implement senatation. There are no Jedi holding any sort of government position in their territory no more so than there are in the Hutt space.

I think that the Empire is more preoccupied in getting their own house in order than going to the unknown space chasing after rumors.
>>
>>4009730
I was more pointing out one of the ways that this could fail if we went about it wrong. I never said anything about ruling was a bad idea.
>>
>Yeah Palpatine's regime can't survive without public support!
>when the Senate and People and Separatist worlds see what we're doing...!
Yeah except he doesn't and they won't. Once the Tarkin Doctrine is in place say goodbye to any chance at massively destabilizing the Empire.

And don't think being in the Unknown Regions will save us. They weren't quite entirely unknown to Palpatine, and sooner rather than later there's going to be the Empire of the Hand to worry about.

Question to Kaz about Kriea's Holocron. Since the only reason that we were able to open it was because of our low Force affinity. Does that mean we have to stay at 1 If we want to keep consulting her?
>>
>>4009732
Well, from my perspective even if this planet ends up being conquered by the empire, it's not really a huge loss for us as long as we don't actually sink any money into it, but I perceive that it is likely to frustrate palpatine regardless of how it turns out.

Here's another crackpot plan.

Step 1. Finish our business here, make friends with the locals, encourage them to start militarizing to prevent further slaver bullshit. If the Empire comes knocking, tell them to surrender peacefully.

Step 2. Learn Kreia's ability to mask our presence in the force so we seem like a total normie.

Step 3. Return to the Empire and join the army. Aim to raise in the ranks as fast as possible. Do plastic surgery to change your face if necessary.

Step 4. If possible, lead the conquest of the world you liberated. Achieve this without bloodshed and integrate the local armies for future conquests.

Step 5. Aim for high command, preferably as high as you possibly can with the aid of the men loyal to you over the Empire.

Step 6. Once you have sufficiently high amount of loyal men under your banner, claim that the Emperor tried to have you assassinated and start a civil war. Split the Empire in two Horus Heresy style.

>trying to make a republic that will just get curbstomped by Vader
Training all our younglings to assist the future rebellion is a much better idea
>>
>>4009807
Better version:

Step 6: Assassinate the Emperor, blame it on Jedi

Step 7: Take his place and command that order of sith knights be established to combat this threat of rogue jedi.

Step 8. Teach the Jedi code as Sith code and re-establish Jedi Order in deed, albeit not on name.

>>4009944
We just need to spread the seeds of a force to oppose the Empire from outside of it.
We don't need to stick around.

If systems that were never aligned with the Empire form a sort of republic, then there isn't much Palpatine can do to get rid of it short of going full warmonger and declaring war unprovoked months into his rule.

Best case Scenario: a New Republic to oppose Imperial Rule which when strong enough can attempt to have systems defect.
Worst case?
Even more public dissatisfaction within the Empire and stronger support for the rebels by Palpatine going super warmonger.

>If systems that were never aligned with the Empire form a sort of republic, then there isn't much Palpatine can do to get rid of it short of going full warmonger and declaring war unprovoked months into his rule.
Doing that is going in direct opposition to the Empire in the Empire's eyes. We can't beat COMPNOR's ability to pump out propaganda. How would we even accomplish that months into his rule?! And he still has the entirety of the Republic military, plus all of the revenue from the CIS.

>Best case Scenario: a New Republic to oppose Imperial Rule which when strong enough can attempt to have systems defect.
The best case scenario is keeping our activity under wraps until someone with the means to do so creates a galaxy-wide rebellion.

>Worst case? Even more public dissatisfaction within the Empire and stronger support for the rebels by Palpatine going super warmonger
That wouldn't create public dissatisfaction. It would look like the Jedi were trying to build an illegitimate state with which to take over the Galaxy.
.
>>
>>4009945
Agreed.

Hell, even this Tof kingdom could probably fuck us over. We’re currently on a prison / slave planet remember - hardly a military strongpoint for them.

We could take our freed slaves and create a migrationary armada in the unknown regions using stolen starships.

Easy to avoid the Empire if we’re always moving.
>>
>>4009968
Those ironclad tubs? If we're to make a Migrant Fleet we shouldn't do it with literal ships that would likely be blown to matchwood were they to go up against a serious force.
>>
>>4009968
A migrationary Armada might work until our base is strong enough.
If we can subtly set the foundation of a new Republic but not officially announce anything till it's ready and able to protect itself, the Empire shouldn't have cause for concern.

Just doing nothing is dumb though.
900 million credits is enough to buy 20 Lucrehulks on the Black Market, by the way.
>>
>>4009980
A New Republic is a dumb idea, stop pushing it. The only way that could work is after the Empire is defeated.

Building up our power in the Unknown Regions and declaring a New Republic makes US look like warmongering impostors, not the Empire.

>>4009968
>>4009975
A migrant fleet might work, and Confederate ships are probably ideal for that. Getting Separatist remnants on our side won't actually be too tough.

>>
>>4009988
It doesn't have to be called a new republic.
If started as a defensive pact between multiple systems that are as yet unaligned, then when the Empire inevitably attempts to invade, we have them become a collective group working under a single banner no amount of propaganda will work to make the opposed planets look like villains.

Seperatist remnants would be super useful too.
Droid Armies are fantastic.

What is this shit with attempting to turn a jedi quest into a jedi refugee bandwagon wrangling quest? It is dumb and ridiculous on so many levels I won't even list them.

Hopefully QM has a solid idea what kind of quest he wants to run.
>>
>>4010000
It’s almost as if the separatists just did the same exact thing with far more resources at their disposal and got completely btfo’d by the republic. Adding to this the Jedi are currently being viewed as traitors. We need to build our order back up, we are trained in stealth not war, starting one is a great way to get Vader to kill all our younglings
>>
>>4010013
Odds are either everyone dies

Or we basically do all the leg work for our now crippled master as he teaches the younglings how to be jedi.
>>
>>4010015
Well the Separatists could probably have won if they weren't being manipulated.

But that's besides the point because us, with probably less than a tenth of a percent of the Separatists's manufacturing capacity (and that's with all of the Unknown Regions we could get on our side), wouldn't be able to dent the Empire. Because the Separatist would be absolutely destroyed by the Empire anyway.
>>
>>4010015
Seperatists would've won if Sidious wasn't playing both sides.
>>
>>4010023
the seperatist would defenitly have won, they have FAR more troops then the republic, they simply had to strech the clones thin
>>
>>4010054
They also advanced faster than the Republic, except when it came to dreadnoughts.

CB3s, B3 Ultras, Tri Fighters, all held back by Palpatine.

>>4010058
>except when it came to dreadnoughts
thats arguable, the subjugator class could kill entire venetor fleets on its own. speaking of, if we find the wreck of one of the 3 subjugators we could rebuild it, the seperatists were able to do it with the recovered wreck of the malevolence

All these great ways to get us killed. The Empire, more specifically Vader and the Emperor, were very effective at hunting Jedi down gallivanting around doing Jedi things, even more so in the EU than Disney canon.

All this meta-gaming and talk of building an early rebellion to fight the Empire is so ludicrous. We're a Jedi Sentinel, we do our best in the shadows and unnoticed. Not waving our dick around daring the Empire to blow us to hell. The Empire has glassed planets for less than a cadre of Jedi being on world.

I think you anons are confusing "building a New Republic" with "telling Palpatine where we are". There is no need to alert him to what we are doing or that its even us doing it. We can perfectly well be some rando-looking "advisor" and travel from planet to planet setting up droid forges and making alliances. God knows there is a lot of disgruntlement going on.

Palpatine cant declare another war on some random planets without shooting himself in the foot politically.

Bingo. And if we happen to lay the groundwork for an empire along the way (and some droid foundries people dont know about), where is the issue? Not like we lack the fucking funds for it.
>>
>>4010189
That has never once stopped him. Keep in mind right now he's still got the clone troopers and not the shitty stormtroopers. If we want to build a faction up its best we do so AFTER the clones are replaced. As the clones are very familiar with how Jedi fight. Right now our best bet is to build up resources and find a safe house for the younglings. Not go starting a faction when all our assets together are a single ship, a fortune, and two padawans with a disabled master along a dozen younglings who need to care for.

>>4010192
I personally favored establishing our own criminal enterprise and spy ring that was discussed earlier. When the Rebellion forms we can help them out covertly.

You sound so fucking stupid.

Doing you think we could just do this silently and not get sensed or found the fuck out? Enough places go boom, enough positions change hands, it just won't work.

"Wow, this one dude has been seen on multiple planets, cozying up with the locals, and vanishing to appear on another planet. I wonder what he's doing?"

Any major action we take is a beacon for any Inquisitor to home in one.

Stop with this New Republic bullshit. We are ONE JEDI PADAWAN, with a comatose master, a dumb Starfighter pilot, and possibly femkenobi, along with 12 younglings. We do not have the resources to slowly begin a fucking rebellion, even 'subtly', because PALPATINE WOULD BE LOOKING OUT FOR THIS EXACT THING.

And I don't think the Sith Lord cares about politics much. Maybe you forgot, but he blew up a planet to make an example.
>>
>>4010196
Why would we stick around publicly for a clone army to visit us? No reason. Also keep in mind the clone army is limited in number. Stormtroopers are not. We have a window of opportunity to make a move while they are spread thin. When they flip to ISDs and the boys in white we will have most worlds worth note already full of Palpatines friends.
>>
I'm in support of a quite farm community where nothing ever happens and the younglings get mad and a group of them decide that one that they were meant for bigger things and steal the ship and head off into the galaxy to make some noise.

But are careless and lead the empire back and everyone is wiped out and they have to live with the guilt.
>>
I just want to Have a companion B2 or Droideka.
>>
>>4010199
We might be forced to, to a certain degree, with the slaves we're freeing.

But I don't think we should really expand operations until we have someone properly teaching the younglings(namely us). All this network stuff can wait for the master to wake up.

The money's not actually OURS, etc.

Did you even read what I wrote? Did you think it through? Let me help you.

Considering our schtick is being unseen and unnoticed, doing backroom deals is precisely what we should be doing. Furthermore, as the Empire is still in its infancy, there i not yet a widespread spy network controlling the general populace - again, time for us.

As to the "we are alone" part, did you miss where we are already orchestrating a coup and picking up toadies left and right? This is one weak ass point mate. Especially in a quest. Try harder.

The fastest way to get towards the refinery is via the monorail. One of the slaves located a fuel depot the monorail would make a scheduled stop, picking up passengers and other resources that would be delivered towards the factory. That would be your window of opportunity. And after dropping you off, Keimann would reverse directions and speed towards the closest airway to begin his own mission.

The Ferroan pushes the transport to its absolute limit to get you and your team there on time. And as the landcrawler speeds through the desolate badlands and towards the station, the members of your impromptu strike team line up to present themselves.

For the sake of maximizing your stealth, you had wanted as little as possible. The wookiee, a strong brute by the name of Elbawraak, had been the furthest you were willing to tolerate, as he had worked hard labor in the refinery itself. Of all the people you rescued, he had been the only one with the most visits and committed memory of the building itself. However, one person forcefully inserts herself onto the team, much to your vocal and vehement disagreement.

The Nagai, much to your irritation, doesn’t seem to care as she repurposes a length of chain to hang at her hips, alongside a borrowed dagger and blaster from the fallen Tof.

“My husband works in the refinery,” she says in a low and threatening voice, “And I won’t have the two you killing him in whatever explosion you plan on leaving behind.” Even as you protest, she cracks her chain whip, lashing out a wicked strike against the far end of the room. “I don’t know about you, Jedi, but to the Nagai, honor demands that devotion to our lovers is the most important obligation we can offer. And I will strike you down, plasma sword or not, if you will deny me this opportunity or otherwise stand in my way.”

You and the wookiee share a glance. And Keimann, smug bastard that he is, calls from the cockpit: “Trust me, Jedi...it’s best to just let her go. Even I know that once a Nagai gets up to something, they aren’t about to back down. Honor to them is more valuable than any currency in the known galaxy...especially when they have the opportunity to regain it.”

“Rwwwwar...” the wookiee eventually shrugs. He seems to agree with the sentiment.

Pinching the bridge of your nose, you exhale deeply, “I just hope I don’t die regretting this.”

The Nagai smiles, a leer full of pain towards the enemies you will undoubtedly encounter. “Then clearly you know little of the Nagai...”

>>You are joined by Elbawraak, the Wookiee Mercenary.
>>You are joined by Suzui, the Nagai Survivalist.

Fair enough. IC, first reaction would probably be to keep the kids safe and get the old man up. After that its either lie down and die or do something. Since we have no knowledge of the Luke arc and our master specialises in sneaky actions, this is a very natural step imo. Whether we brand it as "New Republic 2 - not!Jedi Boogaloo" or some Zann Consortium shit is inconsequential.
>>
>>4010210
For me it's a real missed opportunity. All these resources and allies really dampen the impact of the jedi purge. It would've been more interesting to be forced into hiding, alone and cut off from anyone who wouldn't report us for being a jedi. Instead we have a top of the line ship, functionally unlimited resources, and all of our friends (padawans) are doing relatively fine when the most powerful force users canonically died. Makes no sense.

Torok would have died if we didn't give him the coordinates, Kristen is currently in danger of being sold into slavery, likely to the Empire, and Arotta may or may not be in Space Vietnam.

>Imagine thinking character death and suffering needlessly equating to character development

Hear me out here my niggas. For all intents and purposes our whole extended family was just massacred not a few hours ago. Their bodies are still warm as a result of the arch enemy of our order turning the whole of the world against us and if that's not enough, we've just had the responsibility of guardianship foisted on to us in the form of 12 little ass kids who don't understand why any of this is happening. It's how we REACT to what happens that our character developes, not by having things just happen to us.

So the idea of "rebellion" and what not has some division but look at it this way. It's perfectly normal that we'd jump to such a conclusion first, since for all we know everyone we care about is either in mortal danger or worse yet dead. Paranoia is a natural response.

So lets approach this the way we think Farren would. His master taught him the tricks of the Sentinel trade right? So lets act like a sentinel and evolve out from there! Gael's been through a fuckin load and hasn't really processed the whole situation outside of a few instances. Lets get our shit together, then discuss how we wanna handle this.

I'm partial to Space Yakuza, if only cause it's cool as shit and casts the widest net for info and safety both buying out Imp Officers and feeling out the Criminal underworld. What're your thoughts?
>>
>>4010224
Or ccat brother had his master die and only escaped because he's so attached to his star fighter he tricked it out like a pimp my ride episode.

Even then he'd have been ran down and killed like a dog. he was just lucky enough we were in comms range able to give him a rally point where he could buy time and re-arm/repair. He's fucking lucky.


Kirsten (and her master if they are still alive) are one phone call away from a personal execution with Vader/Palpatine.


Our rival/lover is in space Vietnam with both sides wanting her deader than dead. It's a very real chance she's already bit it.

>>4010233
This. Palpatine put priority onmasters/ people who could threaten his power, the big wigs, the heavy hitters. We're a fucking nobody.

>>4010237
His master still died, and torok only survived cause of luck, and frankly, Palpatine was not focused on offing him like he was Plo.
>>
The thing about being a Padawan is that the clones will have focused on killing the greater threat of the Masters first, and the Masters would sacrifice themselves for the sake of their Padawans.

Additionally, having two Jedi together significantly ups your survival chances from the Clones turning on you.

Somehow, you just manage to make it in time. The train is just at the tail end of finishing its supply exchange as Keimann skids to a complete stop, slamming open the hatch to let the four of you out. Immediately, the three of you book it, hiding underneath the shadows of the mesas as you prepare your equipment.

“Good luck with your mission!” the Ferroan calls, speeding away from the station before any of the Tof can answer questions. “What's the saying your people say...the Force is with you?”

“May the Force be with you as well, Keimann,” you answer, before depressing the commlink shut. “Stay safe.” And then to your impromptu strike force, you motion for them to follow you, and hand Elbawraak a length of Fibercord. “Take this. And all of you are going to jump. I’m going to use the Force to lift you into the air and on to the underbelly of the train.”

The wookiee takes the offering, adding, “Wrrrraw...mrawwww...”

“...yeah, I wasn’t sure if I was about to shorten it since I know you’re sensitive about those kinds of things,” you tell him, “But thanks. ‘Elba’ is easier and quicker to say.”

Suzui seems confused at the interaction, but nods anyway. “And how’re you going to get on, Jedi?”

You point towards the wookiee. “Why do you think I gave him the rope?”

>Take 10 for Force check.

One impressive feat of upper body strength later finds the three of you in-between the cars, pressed up against the containers of materials as the monorail races through the planet. You observe the journey in silence; the wookiee seems to be content to check his weapons and otherwise ensure he’s in fighting form. Suzui casts a wayward glance towards the passing vistas of mountains and rock, most likely remembering better days and times.

You spend the trip reaching out with the Force to sense anything of Kristen or Master Aure. There’s nothing within the immediate vicinity, save for some primitive life forms and the Tof engineers. But you sense something faint, but it’s so far away, hundreds of kilometers away towards the spaceport.

...and it gives you a reason to fight harder.

It doesn’t take long before the monorail reaches the refinery. But you can smell the fumes long before you even have the factory in sight. Even Elba covers his nose, vocalizing his discomfort with an irritated growling. The mix is enough to put tears in your eyes, a heady and intoxicating smell that could only come from heavy chemical refinery and processes.

You motion for the others to quietly follow you as the train enters the terminal, leaping off the tender as soon as you spot an opening. The Tof are either too preoccupied with their own operations or lax in their security as you slip behind an set of crates and collect yourselves.

“Wrrrawr,” the woookie vocalizes, pointing to a maintenance shaft. “Rrrrawwwwr...rawwww...”

Suzui looks to you for a translation, and you’re quick to provide one: “It’ll be a tight fit, but we can all squeeze in here if need be. But we need to be careful. The Tof make regular patrols and flush out the system twice a day.”

She nods. Then, turning to Elba, asks, “Soon will they begin?”

“Wrrraw...”

“Two hours,” you translate.

“...acceptable.”

So is doing literally anything besides sit under a rock and meditating for eternity. Beyond that, surely you can respect that even at the height of the Empire's power they never stamped out the black market nor it's suppliers. True it would be unwise to let anyone know where this factory was set up, which is where our new slave friends come in as middle men captaining droid-crewed cargo smuggling ships for us.

>Or the Hutts
Only if we interfere with their markets or actively fuck with them. Why would they complain about the guy selling guns onto the market far away from them?

To Elba, you hand a commlink and sack of thermal detonators, keeping a few for yourself just in case things get hairy. “Stay safe. We’ll meet you at the halfway point once we find her husband and any other slaves. And for the love of all that’s good in the galaxy, don’t detonate all of it if you find any. A single gram of unstable anti-matter could turn this place into glass...and the Force only knows how much they’ve got sitting around.”

The wookiee growls an agreement, popping open the maintenance hatch. For one of his size, he’s quick to maneuver through the tight confines of the shaft, disappearing within a minute of his entry. All you can hear are the echoes of his journey, grunts and moans as he either hits his head or dead ends. And those soon fade as well, leaving you and Suzui by yourselves...

It’s almost embarrassing how you manage to catch one of the Tof bosses. You don’t even need to journey beyond the receiving terminal, waiting patiently in your little hidey-hole for one to slip up.

Just only a few hours after your arrival, and at least one since they started the flush, your opopruntiy comes. One of the Tof, a boss dressed more opulently than the others, looks around suspiciously, making sure that the loading bay is empty before he retreats into some dark hidden corner. From his pocket, he produces a long paper roll, perhaps the equivalent of some narcotic back in known space.

Still, not one to press your luck, you and Suzui make your move. All it takes for him to come out of the darkness is a pebble in the back of your shoe, thrown and bounced off a metal grate. The Tof jumps, immediately alert and fearful that someone might catch him slacking off...

...however, he doesn’t get the chance. Suzui rears back and unleashes her chains, clocking the man directly in the back of the head. He doesn’t even make a noise as he slumps, dead to the world for all intents and purposes.

You give her a flat look as she reels in her prize like a fisherman would his first catch. “Was that really necessary?”

“No,” she casually admits, skiving through his pockets.

“...and how do you think we’ll get the prisoners out of here?”

“The monorail, Jedi. Don’t tell me you didn’t think that far ahead...” She grins triumphantly as she finds what she’s looking for, holding up a small, pocket-sized dataslate. “Aha! Found you...”

>>Suzui’s husband, Hol Sho, has been stationed in the out-processing unit, overseeing the slave’s work for refueling due to his expertise in particle physics.
>>Reaching that place will be somewhat of a challenge, as the guards make regular patrols and keep a close eye due to the volatility of the fuel.

To your surprise, Suzui manages to not make too much noise with the amount of chains draped across her body. And the two of you go relatively unmolested or otherwise undisturbed in your sojourn towards the out-processing unit. There are enough nooks and crannies to otherwise hide from passing patrols, and hide the bodies for those you have to take out.

Eventually, you figure that somebody’s going to discover the bodies. But by the time that happens, you’ll be long gone...and maybe the factory’s a hole in the ground.

Your little exercise in stealth is certainly a challenging one, but not beyond the norm of what you’d have done before the events of the prior week. Still, even with the map on the fallen Tof’s dataslate, it takes you the better part of an hour to navigate...

...especially when a general alert goes out. The alarm causes both of you to jump, fearful that you might have been discovered. But your terror turns into relief; the alarm is not for the factory, but for something else entirely...at least, what you believe to be the case from the scattered Basic and your own limited understanding of the Tof language.

“...sounds like Keimann’s raid’s just started,” you murmur. Through the currents of the Force, you can sense the fear and worry of the guards and scientists.

Suzui nods. “They are spooked, but not too worried. A long time ago, the same thing happened, but they tried to fly out of the planet’s atmosphere. Didn’t last long against the armada. They think the same thing will happen. And nobody’s that stupid to attack the refinery.”

“Good thing I’m an idiot.” You try not to come off as too smug as the two of you resume your journey. “I’d pay my weight in gold to see their faces when Keiimann bombs the first barracks...”

>>Out-Processing Unit

The out-processing block of the refinery is as large as a warehouse interior, with all the machinery to match it. You see the rote forklifts, the overhead cranes, and the metal containers not unfamiliar from any space port or call of harbor. What differs, however, are the extreme redundancies that the Tof have put in place. For all of their uncivilized behavior, they seem to at least otherwise be aware of how dangerous their fuel is.

But all work has ground to a halt. A group of workers, perhaps forty individuals in hazard suits, chafe and cringe under the watchful eyes of the Tof guards. One of them in particular...

Suzui’s breath catches in her throat as she spots one of them trying to cajole information from the guards. Even with his helmet, you can make out a face and complexion similar to that of your companion's. “My beloved...”

>>With the guards on high alert from Keimann’s raid, approaching them as-is is impossible, even with the cover of the crates and anti-matter pallets of cargo.

The guards are all armed with melee weapons, vibroswords and the like. Not a single one holds a blaster. Good for them that they’re observing proper safety protocol. And even though Suzui has a blaster at her hip, you trust that she won’t try to take a pot shot and risk accidentally rupturing one of the containers.

“I’ll grab the four on the right,” you whisper as you grab your lightsabers. “You get the four on the left, plus the one your husband’s trying to speak with. Are you ready?”

The nagai’s affirmation comes as a slow rattling of her chains.

As one, you vault over your hiding spot and charge the Tof. The slaves blink, visibly taken aback and shocked at your sight. The Tof seem equally perplexed, wondering what could have elicited such a reaction from their slaves. You don’t give them the luxury of that knowledge as you fall upon the first one, and run him through with your lightsaber. And only moments later, Suzui’s chain wraps around the one before her husband, and she pulls back harshly enough to elicit a SNAP from the Tof’s ruined neck.

“Surprise,” you hiss, and only finally do they assemble some measure of counter-offense...

A smart man once said: "Endure. In enduring, grow strong."

You guys know, deep down, that we will not be
unscathed. We are one padawan, trying to salvage what's left of our crumbling world. The choice that are presented to us might seem obvious. And maybe some of our choice will lead to misery. But, it's a fact that all jedi must go through and accept as a reality.

A Jedi isn't someone who seek perfection, it's someone that always strive to better himself and the galaxy.

We, Anons, are like our character in this situation. We are thrust into a world, foreign to everything we have encountered and what awesome power we have seems meager in the face of adversity.

We will commit mistake, we will friend, we will be betrayed, we will go through loss and we will go through pain.

But isn't it what it means to be a man. All our training, all our knowledge, all our power doesn't change this simple fact. We remain one man, failure is a possibility.

We must simply accept it and open ourself to the possibility that it end up bad, or in the contrary, that it end up okay.

The Tof in the transport had put up a better fight than these ones did. Granted, you had easily dispatched them without breaking a sweat, but perhaps it’s the absence of blaster bolts or other projectiles that make this less of a battle and more of an exercise.

The noise of Suzui’s chains and the noise of your lightsaber create a discordant rhythm, a symphony of death. And within seconds, all of the Tof lie dead. Half bear the burns only a lightsaber could create, while others bear the brunt and full damage of the chains; broken limbs and bones, and crushed throats that struggle to breathe.

You frown as the Nagai attempts to pop a Tof’s head off with her chains. “Suzui, enough. He’s dead.”

“I know,” she says, “I just want a trophy to take home...” At her inability to sever the head, Suzui loosens her chains, wrapping them around her body as she stalks over towards the only other Nagai in the room. “Hol!”

“...Zi?” is all her husband has to say before she throws herself into his arms, chains and all. He collapses into a pile of crates, even as his wife pries his helmet off and kisses him fiercely. “I don’t...I don’t understand...they said that...”

“You don’t need to...” Seemingly rejuvenated with that small bit of contact, she stands and points at your direction. “But I brought a friend with me, someone powerful that those Tof made a mistake of crossing.”

You cough politely and bow at the introduction. “Jedi Farren Gaelle at your service.”

He doesn’t seem to understand what the word entails, but he nods. “Many thanks...but I have to ask, how do you intend for us to escape?” He gestures to his workers, who have all taken off their helmets and greet you with a cautious optimism. “There is nowhere for us to go.”

“I’ve got a buddy in the badlands setting up a haven for you and some of those anti-matter canisters,” you explain, “Are there any other slaves within the building?”

Hol shakes his head. “No. There are not.”

“Good. That just leaves our mutual friend...”

The comm in your pocket, registering a signal from somewhere within the building. You unclip it from your belt, holding it up to your ear. “Elba, what’s going-?”

“RWWAAAAWWWWWRWRRRR!” the wookiee shouts, before the sound of blades and weapons impacting cuts him off. With a blood-curdling, hellish roar, Elba seems to blast and fight at an enemy only he can distinguish. “RWWWWWWAAAAAAAWWWRRRR!”

Translation: he's been backed into a corner, is slowly running out of ammunition for his rifle and is humbly requesting for backup.

...

Suzui exhales. “So much for the element of surprise.”

You make a point of giving her a particularly pointed glare as you motion for everybody to follow. “Those who can fight, pick up some of their weapons. We’re gonna get you out of here before we blow this place to hell and back.”

“Hold on. You’re not seriously thinking of having Hol and the workers fight our way to the particle accelerator?” the Nagai demands. “I appreciate what the wookiee is doing, but these people are scientists! Not warriors!”

“Of course not! I want them on one of the monorails...” you think, glancing around the warehouse block. “Shouldn’t there be a monorail this close to out-processing?”

Hol shakes his head. “No. We have to manually load the antimatter onto pallets, which we then drive towards the station. There’s only one rail that leads to the refinery due to security concerns. We don’t have explosive collars due to our proximity to the antimatter, and would have an easier time escaping without fear of punishment.”

Trust the Tof to be smart at the last possible second. Even as the wookiee’s fighting for his life somewhere in the middle of the basement, you have to make a decision. “Alright, here’s the plan...”

>>How will you proceed?
>You and Suzui split up; you will go after Elba, she will lead the scientists to the monorail.

A Jedi is what we define the word to mean.
There is no council to tell us what to do and we have a choice whether to doggedly follow the teachings of the dead and the fallen from the old world.

I personally believe that rather than clinging to a shallow code of morality and tradition, we should focus on discipline and determination.

As you said, the old world is crumbling down and we must learn to not only survive, but to thrive in the galaxy created by Palpatine's machinations.

>>You use the Force to empower a nearby vibro-sword, and give it to Suzui.
>>She accepts it with no small amount of awe and reverence, promising not to sever her own hand while using it.

“Please wait up for me,” you say before you leave.

Suzui scoffs. “Of course, Jedi. I wouldn’t dare leaving you behind; you’re everybody’s ticket off this shithole of a planet.”

>You have gained influence with Slaves.

The Force augments your speed as you sprint down the halls, all thoughts of stealth and subterfuge nothing more than distant memories. Both of your lightsabers are little more than neon blurs that seem to cut through the air and the flesh of any Tof who would have the foolishness to stand in your way. But all you know is that in your haste to reach Elba, you’ve left several warm corpses in your rush to the elevator.

Above your head, the alarm continues to blare. However, it seems to change, shifting from a general, amber alert to one of deep crimson. Finally, it seems that the Tof realize that one of their prized anti-matter installations is under attack.

The wookiee’s signal seems to be coming from a handful of floors down. Easily remedied. The elevator is mercifully empty when you enter, and no signs of life greet you upon exiting. Reaching out with the Force, you sense the wookiee only a few dozen meters away, along with several other hostile life-signs. Of course, the distant sound of blaster rounds are a good directional indicator, but these days and times, you can’t be too careful.
With all of their attention towards the wookiee, the Tof are completely unaware of you before it’s too late.

“Sorry I’m late!” you shout to Elba as you slice and cut your way through the security forces. Some turn their blasters on you, only to find their efforts in vain as you either deflect their shots or reflect them right back towards their owners. “I got stuck in traffic!”

“Rwwwwwaawwwwrrrr...” the wookiee vocalizes as he runs a guard through with his vibrosword, before following up with a point-blank shot from his pistol. “Rwaaaaaaaaawrrr.”

“Yeah, me too. Here, catch!” From the floor, you slip a pack of ammunition from underneath the corpse of a guard. It sails through the air, bouncing off of one guard’s head as Elba snatches it in the air with a furry fist. “Let’s clear this corridor and set those mines before more of them show up!”

“Raaaaaawwwwwwwrrrr!”

The two of you easily make quick work of the Tof. Between your own dispassionate fighting, and the wookiee’s iconic berserker rage, they fall rather quickly. It’s almost insulting. They seemed to have grown lax and complacent in their arrogance, believing that nothing could have ever threatened their authority.

You'd almost pity them if not for their cruelty. Foolishness.

>>You reach the heart of the refinery, the antimatter collider.

“Rawwwwwwwr!” Elba says, holding up the sack of thermal detonaters that you had given him. “Wrraaaaaawwww?”

You point towards critical points in the collider; support beams, power couplings, anything that could destabilize the collider and cause the anti-matter to go volatile. “Whatever you can slap it onto or keep hidden. We’re gonna set it on a timer to give us enough time to get out of here.”

The wookiee nods and gets to work, leaping from platform to overcrop to place the thermal detonators wherever he can. Some he leaves obvious, others he hides within the corners and crannies. And as he goes about his work, you manage to slice into the console without considerable effort. The language interface might be something else you’ve never seen before, the programming looks similar to most of the Outer Rim operating systems you’ve interacted with.

All it takes is a computer spike, a few guesses as to which button controls which...and you’re in the computer.

On the bright side, one doesn't have to worry about fallout in the event of an antimatter explosion. Anything within the immediate vicinity of the blast will be vaporized, it's just a question of how much of a show we want to make of it and how quickly we can safely do so.

“I thought you weren’t gonna make it!” Suzui calls as you race towards the monorail. You try your best to avoid stepping on all of the corpses that littler the terminal. “I was just about to leave without you!”

“No you weren’t!” you counter, watching Elba leap onto the train before you follow him. You follow her into the heart of the machine, stepping through automatic doors as you race for the center of the train. “Who’s driving this thing?!”

“Automatic!” Hol shouts from the intercom system. “It’s preprogrammed to go to certain stops or cities! Got a place in mind?”

“Wrrrrraaaaaaawwwwww,” Elba asserts.

You are quick to translate: “The midway refueling station! The plan’s to meet up with some of the other rebellious slaves.”

“Understood!”

With a violent lurch, the train surges forward, exiting from the terminal of the refinery. Sparks fly and the compartments wobble at the speed at which it was never meant to depart, but you manage to keep your balance as you advance forwards into the passenger compartment.

As the scientists huddle amongst themselves, the three of you claim a table for yourselves. Suzui kicks her feet up, undoing the sash that holds her borrowed vibrosword in place.

“That was a neat trick you did with that weapon,” she says, sliding it on the table, “Think you could do it again? Or make it permanent? Ran out of charge after the twenty-fifth guy I gutted.”

“Only when the situation calls for it,” you counter. “I am not some battery that dispenses the means that powers your violent urges.”

The nagai pouts. "You're no fun at all..."

Elba doesn’t look nearly as relaxed. The wookie hasn’t let go of his rifle, and his sword continues to hang on his back as he sits down. “Wrrrrawwwwww...”

Suzui shoots him a look as you translate. “‘Too easy?' I don’t know about you, big guy, but it wasn’t easy getting forty people to the terminal all by my lonesome!”

“Wrrrrraaaaaawwwww...”

You frown. “I’m sorry, I didn’t quite catch that. You said...maurader guard?”

The answer to your question comes as a violent impact nearly sends you spilling onto the floor. The overhead lights dim, and the scientists scream and panic as the tether begins to shake uncontrollably.

Suzui shouts to the ceiling: “Hol, what the hell was that?!”

“Harpoon cable!” comes the panicked response, “Somebody’s shot a cable into the side of the train!”

The sound of a high-powered engine suddenly fills the air, and you take a look outside through one of the portholes. And there they are, a small band of Tof warriors, no more than a dozen, that reel their transport skiff closer onto a train. These are a far cry from the unadorned and plain guards that protected the reactor, and carry themselves with a crueler, more sinister air.

...no rest for the weary then.

You and Elba share a look, and then one towards Suzui. The nagai rolls her eyes, even as she stomps towards the end of the car. “Hol, beloved? I need you to slow down the train so I can kill the idiots that are ruining our escape.”

Then to you and Elba, she growls, “Not. A. Word.”

One awkward ladder climb later finds you atop the monorail train as it continues its way down the Mylar countryside. It doesn’t take too long to see the marauders. At least eight of them have bridged the gap between their skiff and the monorail, and show no signs of stopping.

“Slaves!” one of the Tof says. “Surrender, and we will-”

He is promptly blown off of the train, courtesy of a well-placed shot by Elba’s part. The bastard doesn’t even have time to scream before he crashes into a stabilization pole, and leaves nothing but a crimson mist in his wake.

Suzui laughs as she takes her own shots at the marauders. “Die and we’ll make it quick, assholes!”

A fierce firefight erupts between the pirates and your comrades. Each hunkers down behind the raised position of an airlock, peeking and ducking behind their cover as blaster bolts spray wildly into the sky.

You, on the other hand, employ a more graceful method. You activate one of your lightsabers, deflect two wayward shots, sever the cable binding the skiff to the ship. The backlash that the cable creates causes several more members attempting to cross to fall onto the side of the train. The impact sends more falling to their deaths below, leaving you less of the trash to clean up.

One less thing to worry about, and the train’s nearly free of any debris.

But before the skiff/platform drifts too far away, the largest of the marauders manages to leap aboard with what you could only describe as pure force of strength. The impact alone causes a dent in the metal. Easily two heads taller than the rest of the Tof underneath his command (for what could he be other than their leader), the captain bears his teeth at you in a challenging grimace.

“You are not a slave!” He doesn’t need to roar to make himself heard. “You stink of an off-worlder!”

“And your vocabulary is more eloquent than the rest of your species,” you reply back. “Finally, it’s nice to talk with someone more civilized...although you certainly look more different than the rest of the Tof I’ve seen.”

His smile is ugly to behold. "Of course! I have to speak the language of the lessers in order to get the best deals at the Great Trade!"

“But if you must know,” he continues, reaching for something at his belt. A weapon? “I am Captain Krue of the Marauder Guard. And you have made a very big mistake in coming to stir trouble on our world.”

You cast a wayward glance back towards the refinery. “Yeah, well...I wouldn’t want to be you in a few hours. But you still haven’t answered my question! As to why you’re bigger, uglier, smellier than the rest of your subordinates.”

He doesn’t seem to take offense. Puffing his chest proudly, he slams his hand into his heart, decalring: “I am a true Tof! The Tof as we were meant to be! The Tof that will see the species of the galaxy driven before our feet! I. AM. PUREBLOOD!”

Your heartbeat stills as he presses a button and activates the object in his hands. You recognize that weapon, remembered how proud its owner had been at its completion, and how among your clan, the teal crystal had been hers to claim.

“Where did you get that lightsaber?” you demand.

The slaver laughs. “Oh, so that is what it’s called? It was a gift from the planetary governor! The one he confiscated it from didn’t need it anymore...not after what we did to her.” His smile turns even uglier. “Why, did you come to save her?”

The blood in your veins surges, even as you attempt to remain calm. But even as you bring your own ‘sabers to bear against the Aberrant Captain, a furious anger surges through your veins.

Kristen...

“You are not worthy of that weapon!” you roar, letting your feelings bleed into the battle, “I will see it restored to the one it rightfully belongs!”

“I think otherwise.” The Tof falls into his own stance, wide-legged and low. A buccaneer’s stance if you had ever seen one. “But your weapons will make a fine addition to my collection...swords and spears and all manner of weapons I've wielded, but not one the likes of this...lightsaber."

He wants a fight? Then you'll give him more than one for the ages! “...so be it!” You fall into your own stance. “Come and show me what passes for courage among your misbegotten kind!”

Is it some measure of pride that stays your second blade, much like those recordings of Count Dooku in the temple? Or perhaps some manner of honor, that he must be slain with the proper form? Still, your body courses with fury at whatever this scum implied had happened to Kristen...and how fury and a desire for vengeance burns within you...

It has been a few months since you’ve slipped into Makashi, but you find yourself returning into the form like a form-fitting glove. With both hands on your weapon and the Force coursing through your

“The first lesson of lightsaber combat,” you intone as offer the Makashi salute. “Unlike a vibrosword, using a lightsaber requires either an extreme degree of spatial awareness, or a measure of being Force-sensitive.”

The pureblood growls and charges, swinging his...Kristen’s lightsaber like he would a sword. Perhaps he’s had some measure of practice, or even some degree of Force sensitivity. If nothing else he seems to have a firm grip on the weight and balance of the weapon. He comes at you fast, and proves by his swings that he is no inexperienced fighter. His thrusts are a rush, the teal blade coming in hard, right to left.

But with only a slight movement, the gold blade slips under the blue, lifts up and Kristen’s blade flies harmlessly off the mark. With a slight twist of your wrist, you stab forward, and Krue is forced to take a step back. The pureblood brings the weapon across to parry, but you had already retracted your blade, and settled into a defensive position.

He flexes the fingers curled around the stolen weapon, before regarding you with new consideration. “...you are unlike any foe I have ever faced.”

“And I’ll give you credit where it’s due,” you say flatly, wincing at the stinging that runs up and down your fingers. “You’re either a great warrior, or you’re actually some degree of Force-sensitive.”

Krue perceives it as an insult, and snorts derisively. “I’ve heard of your ‘Force’, mystic...this field of energy that supposedly binds the galaxy? How absurd!” He shakes Kristen’s lightsaber at you. “I require no special aid or energy field to win; nothing beyond my own strength of arms!”

Your eyes narrow. “You are too far ahead of the lesson.”

“Lesson, eh?” The pureblood snorts. “Give me your name, then, teacher. So that I can remember you even long after its conclusion.”

“...Farren Gaelle,” you continue as you circle him, deflecting another bolt without even looking in its direction. One foot slips behind the other as you present as little a target as possible. “But now we move onto the second lesson...the difference between a sword-fighter...and a fencer.”

Krue is warrior, born and bred to be at the front lines of any combat. Whether holding a rocket launcher or the grips of a heavy carbine, brawn is clearly the dominating trait that he has built himself up into. There is only so much that parrying or countering could do against such strength. Every time your lightsabers lock for more than a second, you are forced to bring to hands to bear just to stave off the blow.

However, his most acute weakness is finesse. He lacks the grace necessary to match the speed of your weapon. He remains rigid, most likely trained to remain a steadfast, advancing bulwark on the frontlines of a battle. All he can do is advance and retreat along an invisible line, even as you circle around him like a predatory fish.

He seems to realize this, and changes tactics accordingly. The train takes a particularly sharp angle, allowing for you to break away momentarily. Once the monorail returns into a straighter line, the two fo you engage again.

He presses forward more forcefully, shifting Kristen’s lightsaber from hand to hand as if to find a better grip. Then, Krue explodes into action, coming fiercely with the teal blade flashing about. He keeps a better pace of cuts this time, reversing his angle often. He finally seems to have a good idea of your style, applying his strength into a sudden thrust.

Your own gold works furiously to keep the teal at bay. And while he may not know it, Makashi doesn't quite nearly have as much staying power against opponents at least twice or three times your body weight.

“Third lesson,” you continue nonchalantly, as you allow him to build his momentum and keep a sharp eye on the Tof’s footwork. “Set your limits and respect them.”

Krue continues to press forward more forcefully, but you continue to fend off the strikes. And then the Tof’s momentum plays out; he is too far forward, while you remain in perfect balance, having held out long enough for a devastating counter-attack.

And then you suddenly pres the attack. Your gold blade stabs and retracts so quickly that most of the Tof’s parries hit nothing but the air. Krue is forced to move back, and then again, and another as your thrusts move ever closer towards vulnerable flesh.

“Fourth lesson,” you grunt as you suddenly lunge forward, “Size. Matters. Not.”

Your attack stabs high towards the marauder’s shoulder. Up goes the blue blade moving to intercept. Alas, to Krue’s surprise and horror, you pull back the weapon and thrust it right back out, up high and across the other way. There is no way he could get his weapon back to block, nor could he step out of the way lest he fall between the cars.

Your lightsaber stabs hard into the Tof’s right shoulder, right into the thick meat where the shoulder meets the joint. And as Krue rears back out of instinct, you reverse the blade and slice open the innermost part of his opposite leg. The arauder stumbles backward, only to rearrange himself and deliver one final strike before he collapses...

...only to come to a complete and abrupt stop.

“Fifth lesson,” you intone as you approach him, lightsaber in one hand, and the living Force within your other that holds him in place, “The Force resides within us, whether you like it or not.”

And with that, you bring your lightsaber to intercept the would-be blow, aiming not for the teal blade but for the limb that wielded it. Your ears strain under the force of the roar, and the gunfight between the marauders and your team comes to a complete stop. The offending limb goes flying through the air, and you let the captain go only to grab Kristen’s lightsaber.

The weapon of your wayward sister seems to rejoice in your hands, singing joyfully as it slips into a familiar presence. Enraged at the loss of his trophy and hand, Krue draws a pistol from his belt, lining a bead at you from neigh point-blank range.

“...final lesson,” you exhale as you block the shots, sending them ricocheting into the air. “A Jedi is not permitted to kill an unarmed prisoner.”

The pureblood has only a moment to understand what you mean before you strike him down with the two lightsabers.

>>Later

The rest of the fight finishes as you’d expect. With their leader’s headless corpse spewing blood into the air, the rest of the marauders had been dealt a heavy blow to morale. Then, it’s only an exercise as you lead the charge, deflecting blaster bolts as Elba and Suzui move up behind you. The rest of the marauders soon quickly join their captain as corpses that slide off the train and into the badlands below.

And as if on cue, the sky behind you fills with a brilliant light as the timer runs out and the refinery vanishes in a mushroom cloud. Swiftly, you usher your companions into the car before the sudden change and air pressure causes them irreparable damage. Suzui listens, not so much with Elba, who attempts to squint and gets an eyeful of light for his trouble.

Even as the two of them celebrate and guffaw from their victory over the shootout, the words that Krue said to you trouble you greatly.

“The one he confiscated it from didn’t need it anymore...not after what we did to her.”
For once, you wish that you did not have the imaginative mind that your master trained for you to cultivate. All of these thoughts and tangents are nothing but exercises that serve to stoke your frustration and anger. And while your anger is most certainly righteous, you have little desire to venture down that slope.

...Kristen... you think as you approach the midway station, and gaze at the distant starport. ...no matter what’s happened...no mater whatever they did...I’ll always...

Keimann is the one that greets you as you arrive at the station, stepping out from the crowd of former slaves as they absorb the refugees from the refinery. The Ferroan’s seen more than his fair share of action, but he bears his wounds and scuffs with pride. “Hail, Jedi.”

You accept his greeting. “How’d it go?”

“A success. Three wounded, myself included, only two casualties, with enemies dead in the high hundreds. Those anti-air guns we saw in those sheds looked like they hadn’t been used for years.”

You offer a wan smile that doesn’t quite reach your eyes. “And now the Tof will lie in the bed they’ve made.”

“All that remains is to arm the populace,” Keimann grins, “Even on high alert, those Tof bastards will insist that ‘everything is fine’ and continue to hold the Great Trade.”

“A complete and utter denial of reality,” you dryly remark. “It never would have occurred to me.”

“All the better for us...if the participants don’t see us as a threat, then we’ve got ourselves a perfect opportunity to strike...”

As much as arming the plebs would be strategically superior move, it doesn't play into our skillset, but it's also not our primary objective.

>Planetside in his fighter, providing direct assistance.


i think while walking around being a buyer, we can pass near the anti-air guns and using the force we can disassemble a few of their relevant internal parts and put them in the wrong way. It should help the raid. Maybe we don t need to do this with all, but even a few of this anti-air guns out of combat is good. It probably depends if we go in the city before anyone else.
tell Torok to give the padawans some extra training sessions to properly tire them, and a talk. We can also talk to them, so they know we are fine. The mission is going to end soon, wait for us.

(they where good enough for wait all this time, while tired they should be able to keep doing so. Perhaps Torok can move some of the most dangerous objects in the cargo space of is starfighter, they should be already in more than a single container if they are dangerous.)

We don't need to get involved, we just need to find her. If anything, the chaotic jungle will make it easier for her to hide out and lie low for now (if she survived). I hope she can at least get a bar of signal on her phone now.

But of course we need to drop off the kids first when either the master wakes up or Kristen becomes space mum if she's not an injured and traumatised wreck - I trust Arotta to be tough enough to pull through.

“...and Keimann plans to launch his raids tomorrow, just before sunrise,” you finish your debriefing with Torok. “He still needs to storm the arsenal. Unfortunately, he’ll be doing that on foot since there’s a risk that the arsenal could blow up. I want you giving air support in that interceptor of yours, and then take the lead for the insurgent fighter pilots when the uprising’s proper started. Keep the patrol platforms and air defenses off their backs. Here, you’ll need his frequency. Transmitting now...”

“...I have received it. And the younglings?” the Cathar asks, and you can sense the apprehension in his voice. “I understand the importance of the mission, but are you sure it’s a wise idea to leave them alone. Unsupervised?”

“All the stealth systems are engaged, and that rock we parked in is thick enough to deflect conventional scans. They’d have to come out into the ass-end of the system to investigate. And push comes to shove, set the turrets to automatic.”

He seems to accept that. “There’s still a matter of supervision. Have you seen a group of twelve children getting cabin fever in a cooped up ship? Especially with no adults for the next Force knows how many hours for when the raid begins?”

“There’s holocron that I was able to activate. Just sit the younglings down in the multi-purpose compartment and have the old Jedi lady keep them occupied.”

The sound of footsteps across a metal surface and objects being shuffled dominate the comm. “...uh...you mean the one labeled ‘Holocron of the Betrayer?’”

“Yes. Is there a problem?”

The Cathar coughs uncomfortably. “...well, when you put it that way...ominous name aside, I’ll get it set up before I leave. Anything else?”

“Standard regimen of control remote practice,” you add, “And don’t change the rate of fire, no matter how many claim to say that I wish for it.”

“Understood. I’ll see you planetside soon, brother.”

“Force be with you.” And with that, you end the conversation and stuff the comm back into your pocket. Exhaling as you step out from the alleyway, you make your way down the main street of the Serino spaceport. “...let’s find a way to kill some time.”

Keimann was disappointed that you not participate in the raid, but he understood and was sympathetic for your reasons to stay in the city. The Ferroan only asks of one thing, however, that you would destroy any machinery that comprised of the spaceport’s defense or communications systems. Any further acts of sabotage would be greatly appreciated for the slave uprising. And revealing Torok's existence and committing his interceptor to fight definitely raised his spirits.

“Take these with you...” He had handed you two objects, a medallion and a coin purse. “The medallion marks those who are participating in the trade, given only to those with the money. I took it off our friend’s corpse back in the mesa, along with his and his fellow’s money. It should be enough to get you a room for an evening.”

You had readily taken the medallion, but gave the purse a wary look, one that turned into incredulity as you discovered its weight. “‘Should be enough?’ Keimann, this is too much. I can’t accept this.”

The engineer had laughed. “Enjoy yourself, Jedi. Spend your money, and allow yourself one pleasant evening and morning to enjoy what Sereno has to offer.”

“...before we destroy it,” you finished. “And possibly kill all the Tof within it.”

“Of course. But, I would not want to think that we are ungrateful. The money is yours, to do with as you please.”

You had given him an odd look. “...you want me to take this money and lower myself to the level of someone who comes to this wretched planet to enjoy what it has to offer. For a single evening? Keimann, there’s so much wrong with what you’re offering that I don’t even know where to begin.”

He shrugged. “You should be able to find some more pleasant things to occupy your time with. Take the evening off, Jedi. You've more than earned it.”

“...this is enough money to buy a slave of high quality in the morning,” you protested. “Maybe two if I can haggle!”

“And I trust that you’ll do the right thing with it,” he finished with a strange look in his eyes, before dropping you off a few feet away from the city. “Rest easy, Jedi. Look for us to the west come four hours after daybreak! Our rebellion will have started in earnest.”

...Keimann seems to have an odd notion of gratitude, but at least it’s something you can work with.

Still, after everything that’s happened...between aiding the slaves and the extermination of the Jedi Order...perhaps a night on the town wouldn’t be the worst of ideas. Especially in this wretched hive of scum and villainy where it seems that the city never sleeps.

>>Line Break

As far as cantinas go, the Tipsy Toffer is not the worst one you’ve been to, considering the dregs you and Master Larid had visited while hunting Dark Jedi. And by virtue of catering to off-worlders, the worst of the Tof’s ‘cultural sensitivities’ are not nearly as openly on display. But you are completely unable to repress a grimace as you push through the door and take in the sights.

The bar itself is tame enough, complete with a fishbowl where some exotic alien swims within. Bartenders go about their business, pouring drinks for thirsty client and handing off food to the staff and service. From atop a raised platform, a band of aliens changes tunes, finishing a slick tune off a jizz rift before sliding into a percussive leap-jump.

Kreia isn't unnecessarily cruel, just has high expectations. I'm more worried about us talking to her after we get back, she's probably going to give us a verbal lashing for thinking a holocron is a substitute for a babysitter of all things.

And of course, no cantina would be complete without the dancers. Although that isn’t to say that there aren’t any of the patrons that are dancing on the floor. They’re there and enjoying themselves...

But no, you are referring to the exotic dancers. Women of almost all known species in varying stages of clothing, from the teasing to the outright sheer, dance atop their diases for the pleasure of the patrons. At least one per three tables, and you spot several enclosed areas towards the back of the cantina for ‘private performances’. How entrepreneurial of the owners...but you’re not sure if the absence of the slave collars raises more questions than it does.

“You learn a lot about a place by the type of cantinas that people frequent,” Master Larid had said, “And that all of the people have something to say or share...it’s just a matter of how much money or alcohol is required for them to spill it.”

“You gonna stand there, off-worlder, or are you gonna buy a drink?” One of the bartenders demands of you, a Tof of all people. And his Basic is nearly devoid of any accent, without the coarser intonations of his species. “I know it’s a nice bar, but you’re gonna hold up the line if you keep standing there.”

Clearing your throat, you approach the bar. “Apologies. Just...it’s a very nice place you have here.”

“Yeah, says you and every first-timer,” the Tof grunts as he pours you a shot of what he’s been pouring the rest of the patrons. He’s a sharp one, and you suddenly become warier. “Here. The first drink’s always on the house. May it be the first of many purchases from the Toffer.”

You accept the glass with a nod of thanks, and down it in a single go. It isn’t too strong, but you can feel it work its way down your throat, filling your mouth with the taste of some zesty, acidic fruit. It’s surprisingly good.

“Like it?” the Tof grins as you hand him back the glass. “I make it myself. Our signature spirit, ‘Toffie 59’, distilled from Eoto berries over the course of fifty nine days. It’s a hit with both the locals and the off-worlders, and serves as the base for most of the drinks we pour here.”

You blink, surprised, “You’re the owner?”

“The proud owner, human; the one and only Ingmar,” The Tof takes a dramatic bow, ignoring how some of the other regulars giggle at the sight. It must be something of a routine performance he does for all the off-worlders. “So, what brings you to Sereno, human? Looking for a slave to warm your bed, perhaps a life-day gift with your parent’s money? I can set you up with the finest merchants, all very discreet who deal in only the highest quality of merchandise.”

“Not here or tonight,” you answer coolly, somehow managing to hide your disgust. “...I’m just here for a drink.”

He isn't disappointed, merely shrugging as he gives you another glass. “As good a reason as any.”

You take the drink, nursing it slowly as you scan across the room. Keimann gave you the money and opportunity to relax for the evening, but it’s going to take either several drinks or something happening for you to even think about lowering your guard. Falling into the pitfall of endless paranoia only makes things worse, even though master says that a ‘healthy’ amount of it is completely fine and justified.

As a Jedi Shadow, you are given more leeway than Guardians and Consulars in your way of life. Hunting down the Sith affords you a certain degree of autonomy that would seldom be found elsewhere. Your master himself is perhaps the most obvious walking example you can think of, complete with his two lightsabers and owners hip of the Bantha. Not to mention the other tenants of the Jedi code that he’s played fast and loose with...

You try and fail to repress a shudder as you recall a moment from the early years of your apprenticeship. On some backwater planet hunting for a smuggler of Sith artifacts, you had woken up in the middle of the night, and stumbled upon your master performing...enhanced interrogation on two of the local women. He had the grace to be mortified and apologize, but you never quite managed to forgive your master for that particular bit of forbidden knowledge...

You find yourself downing the drink entirely as you remember his offer to teach you said interrogation techniques, and let you try the next bout of investigation on the local leader’s daughter.

“...you can really put them away, kid!” Ingmar laughs as you order your fourth glass of the evening.

Eventually, the repressed memories stop coming, and you find yourself actually enjoying the atmosphere. Perhaps it’s something about the band, the smell of Toffie 59 and the dull roar of the crowd and dancers that lets you...

...you double check your wrist to make sure that the drink hasn’t been spiked with anything. And once the strip comes away clean, then you allow yourself to return to your pondering, brooding...

“You look like you’re a little lost,” a voice calls next to you, a woman about your age puffing on a cigarette. The casual mechanics outfit looks utterly jarring against the clothes the rest of the patrons wear, baggy and otherwise inelegant compared to the fashionable robes and dresses. “It’s not often that the Toffer gets a new customer...it’s mostly regulars here.”

Her tone implies no seductive intention, and it’s clear from her body language that she’s just here to relax...at least, at a first glance and look.

But what you can’t ignore is the blaster at her belt, nor the small tattoo on the small of her wrist: a tusked skull. You and Master Larid have run into them before, and even though she’s in relatively casual wear, your senses are on high alert.

This woman is dangerous even without the traditional equipment expected of her people, and it takes a moment for you to quell the instinct to reach for your weapon.

“...I guess I am,” you exhale, masking your apprehension with a swallow of liquor. As far as you know, she doesn’t seem to have caught on that you know her true identity. “The drinks just bring back memories of other places, better times...”
The woman seems to agree, taking a long drag from his cigarette in a silent affirmation. When she replies, she blows out a cloud of wistful smoke that seems to go on forever. “Easier days?”

If only she knew. But you decide to lead her on a little bit with just a tad bit of the truth. “Easier days,” you confirm, “Not lazy or recklessly carefree, but...easier and better days when the galaxy continued to make sense.”

She snorts at that. “If you’re looking for common sense, then you’re a long way from it, Wanderer. The Unkonwn Regions aren’t exactly the best places to wax philosophy or fall into bouts of deep melancholy. Most that come here are fleeing from things that they don’t want following them.”

Ice condenses in the pit of your stomach. This conversation is getting dangerous, but you aren’t about to back out just yet. You motion for the barkeep for another round of drinks, one for you and one for your mystery woman. She smiles at the offering, thanking you as you clink glasses and swing back the spirit.

“But I don’t need to think about those anymore.”

“How do you figure?”

In a daring gesture for someone of your particular bent, you tilt your glass towards her. “Well, I’ve got to wonder how someone as beautiful as you is here of all places.”

The woman blinks, surprised before a grin stretches across her face. “...not bad for a new guy. Half of the off-worlders are too skittish to approach, and the other half think I’m one of Ingmar’s girls.”

“The offer still stands,” the Tof calls.

“Not on your life!” the woman laughs back. “I rather like being able to walk around without someone trying to cop a feel or demanding I lay down and spread 'em. And that’s just when I’m still just in my flight uniform!”

"To be fair, only you could pull off such a look,” you assure her, much to her amusement.

You take another round of shots from Ingmar, deciding to try and push your luck. Hopefully, the flirtatious overtones are doing a damn well good job of masking your anxiety at sitting next to a Force-damned Mandalorian. Who knew that pretending to be in the mood did a good job at hiding apprehension?

“But I have to know,” you muse as you clink glasses again, “...how many drinks will it take for me to get your name?”

Her smile deepens, and for a moment, you forget that you’re talking to a woman who belongs to one of the most conflict-driven and violent people in the galaxy. Alas, she seems to be quite content for several rounds of flirting. “I dunno. Keep ordering, Wanderer, and let’s find out together...”

The answer is six shots and several minutes of stroking each other’s egos, but hers more than yours.

“Nomiana,” she says after the last one, slamming it down onto the bar to add to her collection. “Just...Nomiana. Four more, and I might let you shorten it. But what’s it gonna take for me to learn your name, wandering philosopher?”

“...nothing,” you offer simply, falling back to a nickname that the Salamanders used to call you. Your head’s still somewhat clear due to the low alcohol content of the Toffie, but you’re starting to feel a light buzz. “My name is Ren.”

“...Ren, huh?” She squints at you, coming dangerously close as she studies your face. The faint scent of the spirit intermingles with the sweat and grime of her uniform to make something heady...but that couldn’t be the alcohol talking. “...you don’t look like a Ren. You sure that isn’t your last name?”

“It isn’t,” you say truthfully, easing yourself against the edge of the bar. “If you got a complaint, take it up with my parents; they’re the ones who named me. And Nomiana...what an...unusual name."

"You got an issue with my name?" she demands.

"No, it's...pleasant. I'm not familiar from where it's from, but it is not unpleasant. It rolls off the tongue quite nicely."

Maybe it's a trick of the dim lighting, but the red tint on her face seems to be more pronounced than usual, even with the alcohol. She’s about to open her mouth when the band suddenly shifts tunes. The flaunt that they had shifted to from leap-jump cycles all the way back to jizz; the lead kloo horn blasts out a sensational trill before the band takes up the beat, setting a tempo and for a more proactive musical number. Swing jizz.

Nomiana gives you a grin as she begins to sway to the beat. “Tell you what...Ren. How good of a dancer are you?”

“...I can navigate my way around the floor,” you venture cautiously. Technically true. More than one target had tried to take sanctuary in a nightclub, blending in among the patrons and dancers. "Without falling."

“Good enough for me...” She stands up from the bar-stool, grabbing your arm as if to pull you up from your seat. “Keep up with me, and I’ll tell you where I’m from.”

An unarmored Mandalorian, palling around in slaver's bars and inviting an incognito Jedi to dance swing-jizz...what is the galaxy coming to?

...cutting it off at this point would only make her even more suspicious. All of the buildup, the drinks and the flirting...and you turn down an offer for a dance? Force knows how a normal woman would react, but a Mandalorian at that?

Thus, you accept her offer for a dance and follow her onto the dance floor. The band is in full swing, and all eyes are on the participants as she leads you onto the floor. Mercifully, the spotlights are only focused on the band and exotic dancers, leaving the two of you little more than barely-visible forms on the cantina floor.

“Ren, you aren’t supposed to be so stiff!” she laughs as you stumble forward. “You need to relax! Let all of that tension out of you, you stray sophist!”

“Easy for you to say,” you shoot back, gingerly taking the hand she offers. “The extent of my dancing is swaying from side to side and moving my hands up and down.”

“Don’t sell yourself short!” The other, she directs to the curve of her hip and closes the distance between you. She’s just under half a head shorter than you, and stares up at you with those bright, vibrant eyes. “...I’m sure on some planet, that’s considered to be the height of artistic expression.”

“Yeah, but nowhere in the known galaxy,” you grimace. “Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay further into the Unknown Regions. And then it’s only liked by a race of masochists who thrive off on pain.”

“Oh, don’t be such a killjoy!” Lightly swatting your shoulder, she pulls you onto the dance floor proper. “You’re pretty light on your feet for a wandering philosopher, Ren.”

“I have to be,” you murmur tersely, but what she interprets for shyness is your own fear of being found out. “Especially when I’m being dragged onto dance floors by aggressive women with pistols on their hips.”

“Those drinks are on your tab, not mine! And don’t worry...the pistol only comes out if your hand wanders too far down...”

...reasonable enough.

“Now, if you’ve quite exhausted your list of excuses...” She grins, and without warning, jerks you to the side as the band ascends a major cord with the frantic rush of a man possessed. “Set aside your musings and follow my lead. Think you can do that much, Ren?”

Using the Force to aid you in such a...pedestrian manner would be beneath the dignity of a Jedi. Thus, you rely only on your own instincts and your coordination, following your proactive partner. She is skilled, but elects to teach as opposed to styling on the depth of your inexperience. And to both of your surprises, you quickly pick up a few moves of your own.

Your robes, while not overtly that of a Jedi, are not the best clothes to dance in. And her own mechanic’s jacket, tied to her waist, flops about the place as you spin her about. Not exactly the most ideal of dancing clothing, as both are far too loose as you move and swing, but you make it work and somehow avoid slipping.

“You learn fast, Ren!” Nomiana breathes with a teasing glint in her eyes as she returns from a spin, crashing into your chest with a muffled impact. Eyes the color of deep amethyst look up at your own, and the scent of the Toffie, engine grease and her own scent is a heady intoxicant. “You’re just a quarter of a way to being adequate.”

“‘Adequate?’” you repeat incredulously, “I’d like to think I’ve already proven myself a cut above the rest of the men you’ve met; first in words, now in dance.”

“Oh, you make it sound like I’m a no-good woman,” she innocently declares, even as she steps on your foot for that remark. “And I don’t dance with just anybody, even if they went to the trouble of buying me drinks.”

Concerning, but you brush that off. “I’m flattered that you consider me a high cut above the rest of the...gentry.”

Nomiana catches the delay in your words, and gives a knowing grin. “How kind of you not to call them scum.”

“I do my best,” you answer dryly as you take a step towards the right. Dancing, as it turns out, is quite similar to dueling, although you suspect that the late Dooku would be horrified to see Form II applied not on some candlelit, aristocratic ballroom, but the dirty floor of some common cantina. “In this corner of the galaxy, it never hurts to be polite.”

“And if good manners don’t work?” She jumps as you reach your hand down, tapping the pistol on her hip that hangs precariously on the line between propriety and indecency. The Mandalorian pretends to be scandalized, coming away from you. “How roguish.”

“First the open hand,” you recite as she comes back into your arms. She leans backwards, and you dip her towards the floor, never once breaking eye contact. “And then closed fist should it not work.”

The two of you hold that pose, as if you are the only ones in the cantina. It’s a fleeting moment, lasting no more than a handful of breaths before you pull her back up against your chest. But in that time...

“...as eloquent with words as you are on your feet,” she exhales into your shoulder.

You shrug. “I learned from the best.”

She swats you lightly, but the embarrassed pout doesn’t quite reach the glittering mirth in her eyes. “Flatterer.”

>You not only managed to keep up with her, but learned quickly enough to impress her.
>You sharply have gained influence with Nomiana.

As the band shifts gears and plays a slow ballad, the two of you are hesitant to leave, content to just...sway there, together. And for a moment in time, there is no Jedi or Mandalorian, no witty poet or energetic mechanic...there’s only you, Farren “Ren” Gaelle, and Nomiana.

“...you’re too civilized to be on this planet, Ren,” she whispers quietly into your ear. “...what are you doing here?”

...there's too much in that question for you even begin. How would you even answer that question?

But before you can even say a word, she fills in the blanks with her own conclusion, pulling herself closer against you. “Yeah...me too...neither of us can go home anymore, can we?”

“...no,” you exhale wearily, squeezing her hand lightly. In this young lady, this Mandalorian woman, you’ve found a kindred soul of sorts, another exile and wanderer who set off not of her own volition. “...no, we can’t.”

“...what a shame...” Then, her eyes come back up with an invitation, and a motion of her head towards the back. “...I have a room upstairs...”

A temporary escape from the loneliness, like starships that pass in the infinite void of space? Or the first step to something more?

Her 'excessive'(by Jedi standards) emotions. Anger issues. Difficulty with self control. Passion. All scream I AM THE PERFECT SITH MATERIAL. To the point for many anons, the foreshadowing is obvious about what's going to happen to her. Now the real kicker is if her attachment to us remains after her conversion. Sith are a lot more open about that kinda stuff and she won't take our refusal very well. That why many anons think she is still alive...just became Sith because it would be a waste for them to kill her.

It also doesn't help that there has been foreshadowing that its gonna bite us on the ass and she COULD very well drag us down(which works best if she became Sith).
>>
>>4012614
>Cordially accept
Gah this is dangerous. But I feel Farren would want to escape his fears and worries with this girl, if even for just a moment. Really hope it doesn't bite us on the ass.

>>4012708
Not a problem at all. Some anons just don't want to miss out on voting but I'd imagine most simply prefer to read as much quality content you've put out. I've missed all of this session but its been fun to read in any case.

“...lead the way.”

The moment is only slightly ruined by the sight of Ingmar tossing a wink at your direction.

>>Nomiana’s room.

It all goes well, at first. Keimann might have even been relieved or proud (Force forbid) that you took his advice and loosened up before the fight with the Tof. But finding comfort and relief in the arms of a Mandalorian? Not even in your wildest dreams could you have envisioned such a thing.

The thought that she might not know the meaning of her tattoo had crossed your mind. It was hardly uncommon to see somebody bearing the insignia of the Jedi Order on their shoulder, or some other, similarly trending item that dominated the culture. With the Republic gone, and the Empire in place...what sort of symbols would emerge?

Alas, you have no such luck. The first thing you notice upon entering the room is a suit of armor, neatly stacked against the corner with the meticulous display of a trained warrior. Nomiana mistakes your tension for merely being surprised at the armor, and lightly laughs it off as she pulls you completely into the room.

“Yeah, sorry about the scare,” she says as she pulls a spare bedsheet over the armor. Her hand goes to her jacket, undoing the knot before she goes to her belt. “A girl needs to protect herself our here, yeah? And nothing protects anybody like beskar steel. I could try it on for you later, if you'd like.”

“...I agree,” you reply solemnly as you shuck off your cloak. “...it’s a dangerous galaxy for the both of us...”

You now know beyond the shadow of a doubt that this woman is a Mandalorian. Why is she here in the Unknown Regions? Why is she not with her people in Mandalore? This new Empire would all but shower them in praise and forgiveness in order to cajole their service.

But those thoughts are far away, of logistics and new fears for your refugee Jedi. And even as you both continue to disrobe, stripping off your outerwear as her pants hit the floor with an audible thump, you have her at a disadvantage. As far as she knows...you're only Ren, a wandering, romantic sophist that's too civilized for the Unknown Regions.

Ultimately, I don't think she actually would care that much about our identity nor respect us for revealing it so casually.

If she gets upset because we're incognito due to having an Empire after us, she is unreasonable and can fuck off.

At this point I'm now just curious how hard this can fuck up the mission. I mean we left the younglings with a Weekend at Burnie's scenario with potential access to Sith Holocrons. Our master's in a coma, we're in the room with a Mandalorian who's down to fuck, our best friend/sister is quite possibly in slavery about to be sold on an auction, our side fuck is in space vietnam. So let's see how deep the rabbit hole goes.

Way to endanger bunch of kids and our kidnapped friend for no reason. We aren't a couple, we haven't hired her she hasn't shown to actually confide in us much.

We know as much about her as she does of us. We don't know why she is here so why should she know why we are here?

Worst case scenario, she wants to fight you because you're a Jedi because it would impress the other Mandalorians, potentially even making her a leader if she kills you and takes your lightsabers for a trophy.

You hide your lightsabers within your boots, gently tucking them between the nightstand and the mattress. The rest of your clothes go atop the furniture itself in a neat little obvious pile. The finishing touch is a vibro-knife borrowed from Keimann. Just to be safe...although the use you find it for as a distracting prop is probably not what the Ferroan had imagined.

Nomiana regards your pile of clothes with confusion. “That’s all you have?”

You shake your head. “No. My boots are on the floor.”

Her lips screw upwards in a wry smirk. “Ever the sophist...but that’s all you need to protect yourself? Just a knife?”

You shrug. “I haven’t had any chance to use it." A technical truth, as the lightsaber is your main weapon. "I think my policy’s worked so far.”

“That’s only going to get you so far...” She lightly jumps over the mattress, reaching for her nightstand with a locked key. The drawer pops open, revealing a miniature armory of guns. “Aha!” She pulls out a heavy blaster and presents it to you. “Take it.”

You gingerly take the offered weapon. “...aren’t weapons a critical part of your religion?”

She shrugs. “And I’ve got plenty more to go around. Trust me, Ren, if you ever see a Mandalorian, then you should know that they’re walking arsenals. From carbines to pistols, rocket launchers and flamethrowers...”

That’s quite the extensive armory, and matches what you’ve read about them in the temple archives.

“I...see. I’m flattered,” you admit truthfully, “Really I am, but I really don’t need this-”

“Take it!” she says firmly, “Take it and whenever you shoot somebody, think of me! And who knows? Maybe it’ll keep you alive long enough for our paths to cross again one day...”

How...romantic of her? Mandalorian customs are certainly strange. Then again, you’re hardly one to talk given the nuances of the Jedi Code...and how you’ve been constantly at odds with them ever since your apprenticeship with master Larid. You know enough to know that this isn’t a marriage proposal by any stretch of the imagination.

But even then, you can’t accept this. “...Nomiana, I’m flattered, really, but I-“

“Take it or I’ll break your arms,” she insists with that same light firmness before.

...well, there’s no arguing with that. You place the weapon atop your clothing pile, just beside the vibro-dagger.

>You receive Nomiana's Heavy Mandalorian Blaster.

“Now come down here, you wandering sophist,” she says with a grin as she grabs your neck and pulls you into her arms. “Show me what else that silver tongue of yours can do...and make the long nights ahead just a little more bearable..."

There is nothing the two of you can’t say with a kiss or a touch. But beyond the lightness of her words and the own teasing nature of your replies, the two of you find a moment of solace in a changing, chaotic galaxy. You come together in the knowledge that this may be only a singular encounter, but commit yourselves entirely for the duration of a single evening.

You’ve only had experience with one woman prior, an alien to boot. The basic anatomy is...vaguely the same barring the montrals. But sex with Arotta was no different than a sparring match carried over onto a mattress, against a wall, the floor and whatever nearby surface was somewhat level. Coupling with her was more continuance of a fight between two egos struggling to dominate the other...come to think of that, could you even really call that sex to begin with?

Still, even the Jedi know that it’s rude to compare past partners. And thus, you commit all thoughts of the togruta to the back of your mind as you embrace the warmth of the woman beneath you. Most of them, at the very least.

There is tenderness, a gentle touch from Nomiana that had been noticeably absent with Arotta. Her hands and fingers are calloused from years of holding weapons, and draw noises out of you that you never thought possible. And in turn, you show her the extent of your finesse and reach, as well as how quick you are on the uptake with mastering unfamiliar territory.

There is no struggle for domination, no desire for overpowering the other. There is only a shared desire to carve this evening into each other’s hearts, and lay within the arms of a kindred soul, if only for a single evening. But while there is an undertone of desperation, an urgency borne against the progress of time...it is perhaps the most close you’ve ever come to breaking the Jedi Code.

You finish long after the city lights go dark, and even longer after the Tipsy Toffer closes. And as Nomiana lays against your body, blissfully exhausted and fast asleep, you run a hand down the length of her body. All of her scars, all of which that marks her as a Mandalorian...this is a woman who is alive in the truest sense of the word.

She has her fears and dreams, her own worries and aspirations...it’s almost enough to make you envious. Both of you are fleeing from something. But she is freer than you are, as you are bound by responsibility to what you have left behind.

...but in the wee small hours of the morning, in the pitch-black darkness where only you are watching, you contemplate what life might be like without the younglings or your master...

>>Later.

The standard day of Mylar-3 is thirty-six hours. And what your brain registers as waking up at a respectable hour doesn’t quite translate to the woman curled up against you. It’s still dark outside Sereno as far as you can tell; the sun is nowhere near rising, giving you plenty of time before Keimann launches his attack.

See I don't know if you mean a near-human like kryptonians and are just misusing the term "racial" or if you mean the MC is race baiting at a super level. Or a mutant.
>>
>>4012937
Mutant. Aliens that look exactly like humans but aren't are stupid. Star Wars is unfortunately prone to that mistake.
>>
>>4012940
Aren't the races of the SW galaxy supposed to have a weird family tree that means a lot of them share the same ancestors, so they're more akin to subspecies of each other?
>>
>>4012936
The MC was married to a Kitsune who was totally fine with sharing us which then led to a minor civil war between anons wanting to grab our daughter's friend who was also a horndog and a magical girl, our sister who at that point was more demon than human, and a couple others who I'm forgetting. This only happened because the QM would not fucking put his foot down on the subject when we came to the answer of not wanting to fuck every woman we met, so it became a carousel cycle of anons bringing the subject of polygamy, it getting shot down by other anons and then a race to outvote the fucks wanting to bring it back up with the wife.
The context on why we came to the conclusion of not wanting to fuck everyone was because we were an middle aged ex marine who was trying to do right by his only daughter.
I'm probably forgetting certain details but if you ever get bored, read the quest at your own risk.
>>
>>4012942
Not sure. All I remember about the origins of humanoid SW races is something about them having been created by Rahkata or whatever the precursor race from KOTOR was, which is as good as an any other answer from side material.
>>
>>4012942
They are. Unlike most settings Star Wars bullshitted that a LOT of humanoids came from the same family tree. The problem is they didn't do this with all of them. Only some.

>>4012943
Wow QM fucked up hard. Anons mostly aren't the cheating sort.
>>
>>4012946
The sad thing was that the quest wasn't half bad in terms of writing. But yeah it was a huge mistake on the QM with letting the Anons go back on that shit.

You swipe your clothes, sauntering off into the restroom for a quick shower. As you sit there under the water, you ponder the recent events, the mess that’s your emotions...not at all helped by clashing thoughts of Arotta and Nomiana.

What a Sith-damned mess...literally. To think you could have carried out your little dalliances with that frustrating togruta for the rest of your life if not for the return of the Stih and extermination of the Jedi Order...and you cease to find any amusement after that particularly sobering thought.

The Mandalorian is still asleep by the time you exit, fully dressed and ready to hit the market. The only difference is the shift in her position, as well as the frown of consternation that breaks across her features. Already, she seems to be noticing your absence.

...ah, what the hell. Your hand goes to your belt, going past the gifted blaster and right for the borrowed vibro-knife. Keimann wouldn’t mind the redistribution of supplies. The Ferroan will have raided more from the arsenal come the next few hours to replace the one you leave on Nomiana’s nightsand, along with a small message on a dataslate.

“You never did model that beskar armor for me. All I hope is that I never see it on the opposite side of a battlefield.

Stay alive,

Ren”


>>Later
There’s a palpable change in the air, but it’s one that for the most part goes unnoticed. The Tof security guards are on high alert, but it’s still pathetically easy to manipulate objects with the Force. One bent antenna here, a disconnected wire over there, a series of short-circuits from equipment in a puddle of water...

They are all minor changes and little “accidents” that would just come off as the work of shoddy craftsmanship or outright incompetence. But they add up, eventually becoming a comedy of errors that would result in the Tof’s downfall.

But as far as the events of the prior day go, they may as well not have happened. The off-worlders and the locals, the buyers and the traders, go about their business as the Great Trade commences. The heightened Tof security are either deliberately ignored or otherwise disregarded.

The streets are clogged with passerby and trades. Not a single sidewalk or designated walking zone has gone unoccupied without some kind of stall. Foreign merchants sell fine textiles and weaves, ornaments and jewelry. Still others sell more pedestrian amenities, food and drink, snacks and alcohol...even Ingmar’s got his own little stall, selling bottles of Toffie 59.

Sereno is flourishing; the money and commerce brought in by planets across the regions of the galaxy allow the Tof to make quite the amount of bank. Mylar-3 is the perfect midpoint for both the Unknown Regions and the Outer Rim to manage some form of trade.

And all of this would be well, if not for the main attraction featured in the Trade itself...

“...sold! To Mun in back! Come get slave!”

Your mouth twists into a distasteful grimace as the gavel bangs and a poor soul is carted off to his new master. Only a few more hours, you tell yourself as you stalk away from the roaring crowd and the podium, using the Force to cause more “accidents” for the Tof. Only a few more hours until this entire wretched city would come crashing down...

“Droids!” a voice suddenly cuts through the noise in your head. “Droids! I have droids and droid parts for sale from all corners of the galaxy!”

You follow the sound of the voice to find an alien you’ve never seen before, managing a small section of land as he proclaims his wares to the public. And true to form, he has several droids that you see; protocol droids, a medical droid, labor droids...even a rare IG-88 assassin droid! Now that’s a rare find.

...weighing the coin purse in your hand, you decide to at least be somewhat productive before the poo-doo hits the fan.

The merchant is quick to notice your path, and waves you over with a friendly smile. “Welcome, honored sir, to my humble shop. I am Altos, and I wish the Flame’s blessing upon you.”

“...and you as well,” you return, uncertain but comfortable to slip into the role of customer to the man’s peddler. “I require a droid.”

“A droid!” The merchant claps his hands. “Of course, honored one, you’ve come to the right place!”

“I’m looking for an astromech droid,” you continue, conjuring up an image of Torok’s own R3 unit, Brownie, “One that can help with the maintenance duties that comes with a light-freighter.”

“Ah! You think you need an astromech droid, but what you really need is a combat droid!”

Taken aback at the sudden swerve, all you can do is blink, perplexed. “No, I really don’t-”

So fast that he hardly seems to move, Altos suddenly holds the main processing unit in his hands, the circuits and wirings naked and exposed to the open air.

You shake your head. “Not today. Only an astromech droid.”

“Oh, no my friend, no!” The droid merchant replaced the processor into his box of scraps. “There is no way I could take a good man’s money and give him what he does not need! Honored guest, you are but a single man on the edge of civilization! The Flame would burn me from within if I were to let you go without proper protection. Look at you, sir; do you see how your arms are thin, and your robes hang loosely from your body? This is a dangerous part of space. It would be next to murder if I were to let you go. Please, a combat droid!”

The pattern is familiar, the haggling and back and forth in these kinds of markets. And while you aren’t immediately constrained for time, you aren’t about to let this peddler waste it either.

Perhaps that’s what causes him to change tactics. “Ah, I see you will require something more special. Very well...honored guest, if you would please step from out of the sun and into my tent?"

You raise a skeptic eyebrow.

“Come, come!” the merchant insists, pulling back a cover flap to reveal a veritable mechanical menagerie. There are some you recognize and some you don’t. Even as they lie otherwise inert, your hand still flexes for your lightsaber as you gaze upon Separatist droids. “Gaze upon my wares! They are all fresh from the battlefield, but have refurbished, repaired and reinforced to last longer for service beyond the war! I guarantee one hundred percent satisfaction with my droids!”

He isn’t joking. Several of the droids look like ramshackle parts that a child had glued together. No amount of paint or hammering could buff out the blaster marks or, in the rare case, the molten metal iconic of a lightsaber. But they sport a fresh shining, and stand stoically as Altos presents them to you.

He has them all. From the standard B1 droids and B2 super battle droids, to the BX-commando series, a tactical droid...even a Droideka?! You try not to stare too much. The alien has a Sith-damned museum of nearly all the infantry droids from the Clone Wars!

Altos appears to be pleased happy at your reaction. “You see? I have all the droids that a man could ever need for journeying to and from the Unknown Regions. All of these reconstructions are my own faithful effort to piece back together the scraps and ruined parts that my suppliers bring from the battlefields of planets across the galaxy.”

“Kudos to your suppliers,” you praise, “And to your skills at reconstructing them. I can’t imagine this being easy at all.”

The merchant preens at your words. “I am pleased to see that my humble collection has merited such praise. Now, which one would you like to purchase?”

There are so many choices...all barring a few that would be great to have on the Bantha. Astromech droids are a dime a dozen, but these are something else entirely. And besides, you could always purchase a spate droid, or bum Brownie from Torok. He’d be more than willing to share.

You rub your hands eagerly, and quietly add one item to the single-digit list that argues in favor of the Tof’s continued existence. “What kind of upgrades can you install in the rolly-polly?”

“I’m sorry?’”

“Oh, uh...the big round one. Droideka.”

But before he can give you an answer, something underneath the table rattles violently. At first, you think it was some kind of rodent or spare part that had otherwise shifted in the pile. But it comes again, persistently this time.

Your curiosity gets the better of you and you move further back into the tent, right to where the sound came from. Artos follows close behind, warning: “Ah, I would not touch that if I were you-”

His warning comes too late. You reach into the pile of scraps...grasp something solid and heavy...and pull it out of the pile.

“Statement: Good morning, meatbag,” the head in your hands says, “Are you to be my new owner?”

You try and fail to keep your mouth from dropping open. There’s no way...but it is! “A hunter-killer droid...where did you get this?”

Altos shifts his position, waddling over to pick up the head. He places a hand on the head, looking at the HK unit with a weary sigh. “It was only through sheer dumb luck that I found this one. Or at least, his head. Paraded around on some backwater swamp planet by the indigenous who’ve barely invented the wheel.”

“Still...” You try not to be too awed as you hold a living piece of history in your hands. This was the same kind of droid that fought alongside Darth Revan and the Exile! “I’m amazed that he’s still in one piece!” You turn directly to Artos. “Where’s the rest of his body?”

The alien shakes his head, gesturing to the part in your hands. “That’s all there is. That’s the only one I found among the savages. I nearly had half a mind to kill them, but they weren’t responsible for butchering this one. They said they found him that way...fell right out of the sky and into their sacred temple.”

“Commentary: Why would you want to kill them?” the HK unit supplies, “The miniature meatbags made sure that my head did not rust. And they had families, and several dozen children! Addendum: To them, I was a god of knowledge, wisdom, moderation and peace!”

At your own gobsmacked look at the head’s words, the alien palms his face. “...somebody, and I don’t know who or why, went and installed a pacifist program into this unit. He’s useless as far as combat goes, even if you were to transfer his programming into another robot! You’d need to find his original body in order to make all the necessary adjustments, and Flame knows where that is!”

“Statement: While combat is abhorrent, I am fluent in over five thousand galactic languages, and an expert in computers. I am most useful there.”

“That requires a body, one which you don’t have!”

“Statement: You are unhinged and your blood pressure is rising, meatbag. I suggest taking your medicine.” Then to you, the head intones, “Addendum: if you were to purchase me, I will make it worth your while, meatbag.”

You give the head a skeptic look-over. “How do you figure?”

“No!” Artos shouts, directing a stern look towards the robot. “I will not have you leading any more of my customers on wild goose chases!”

The droid pointedly ignores the warning: “Explanation: I have faint memories of the planets where I may have lost my body parts. Statement: if you were to find them, then I would be able to be of more help to you.”

The dealer grimaces. “If I were to be honest, honored one, I would be most distressed if you were to listen to this one’s lies. I’ve lost several customers over the years who’ve gone searching for his body; their bereaved families return the head, screaming how it’s all my fault!”

HK47 is a fan chew toy to distract from the fact the quest has and will continue to fall to shit as virgin anons claw at every entity with two legs and a hole not kept shut by an attachment, i had hope for this quest until this mando bullshit happened.what the fuck is the point of having a jedi character if you are gonna fall in less than a fortnight after order 66. Master would be displeased, we were already attached to blue thot, like we needed anymore issues than a potentially recurring character that we slept with after lying to. Especially a mando, they already fucking hate jedi what better thing to do then sleep with her, like about who we are, then bail to save our fellow padawan that unless kaz puts a leash on the anons they will fuck too regardless of her mental issues from being a slave rape toy.

This. We have plenty of Moulee-rah on the ship. If not, the the tactical. Besides armies they can also calculate chances and predictions for our covert ops, plans, intel etc.

>A super tactical droid. The commanders and strategists of the Separatist army.

I REALLY want that IG-88 but the tactical droid would know how to find separatist resources that we can repurpose.

>>4013038
Tactical droids were so damned good at predicting and analyzing they even caught up with Skywalker on several occasions(so we can stay one step ahead of vader). Plus just IMAGINE all the juicy info inside that droid's brain we can use.
>>
>>4013033
>A super tactical droid. The commanders and strategists of the Separatist army.

>>4013034
I am kind of split on these two, since a super tactical droid would be a nice thing to have for the younglings considering that if we do build whatever network and support structure we can be it covert or whatever they will be acting like jedi lords of old and will need some tactical acumen paired with leadership experience, the latter part not something it can provide of course, but solid tactics it can.

On the other hand a droideka would be awesome security for the ship and the little ones until they manage to grow up and we can be less hard on them with it looming as a protector over them. Its only issue is of course the whole nonstandard mobility not being able to keep up with them as a massive iron bulk and if it goes spinning wheel it will vastly outpace them.
>>
Less chance of being backstabbed by a super battle droid, walking talking calculator, maybe use it to teach the younglings tactics and advanced algebra, get hk's head and plop him on a shelf next to kreia. Maybe strap him yo the super battle droid and have him teach the younglings even more languages and proper grammar. Need a protocol droid for history eventually maybe, but it makes it easier to continue their schooling.
>>
>>4013051
How convenient.
HK functions as a protocol droid.
>>
>>4013049
A tactical droid can tell us where to find more droids anon. I can understand how you want a guardian right now, but with the tactical droid it can calculate the best places to search for hidden CIS assets. That's actually the main reason I'm voting for it despite how badly I want the IG-88 for backup. I am willing to gamble on a tactical droid now to get a whole lot of droid guards later the get one droid guard now.
>>
>>4013054
Tacticals are capable of self defence anyway.
>>
>>4013012

>A super tactical droid. The commanders and strategists of the Separatist army.

>>4013054

Lets bully the supertactical droid with presenting the full fucked up situation of both the separatists and the republic being the pawns of a force user out to kill all others and take over the galaxy, and then to calculate witch force concentration area may have been overlooked by his current or upcoming cleanup while also excluding ones that may be left as bait specifically or figuring out how to circumnavigate the trap and get away with said bait...

You have convinced me you sadist.
>>
>>4013057
That they are and this is an especially upgraded version. This makes me curious about how effective its combat protocols will be with the new upgrades. Ah well, we will soon know the answer to that far before we can find out if it has any good intel or tries out its teaching ability...god our younglings are going to hate us so much for this.

First Kreia babysitter and now a tactical droid for a teacher/protector. I can't even blame them for it too.

As for what droid to take, man I am torn between the super tactical and the commando droid if only for security purposes, that way we could have a bodyguard around the kids for when we want to take Torok out on missions with us. Plus they're just cool all around... what would it cost to install a nanny program onto the droids?

Its always about the last active user with clearance.
Supertacticals should have one of the highest network privileges, and with a lot of experience able to work a bit around or have stored some codes for one step or two above.
Then locking out the previous and obvious malicious user should not be all that hard. And you are pretty much in possession of a small droid army.

To bad we don't have some cash from the Bantha to splurge on some droidekas to act as bodyguards...
Also i do not think we have the cash to buy our friend. That would have been a smarter move as after we bought our friend they can be shipped of with the Cathar and we can have the slaves and droidekas rob the seller and other patrons of the auction...

You have a warped view of two adults having consensual casual sex. Unless your mind is going: "We didn't give her our full name and gave her a nickname! And we didn't tell her our occupation in an Outer Rim cantina where half the people there are running from something and said occupation is currently getting genocided by the new regime! We are monsters and she will be sure to exact vengeance on our completely reasonable position!"
>>
Well there is the matter of the whole jedi mandolorian blood feud
>>
>>4013195
I was more thinking along the lines of "we accepted an offer for casual sex with a Mandalorian, left her to wake up alone and will probably use our Jedi lightsabers in our attempt to save another girl, who is also a Jedi, during a revolt against those who probably employed her in the first place".
>>
>>4013202
Thats a lot of assumptions. While I strongly disagree with motion of MC having casual sex while fate of his lover is unknown that's just casual sex for you and probably mostly what she expected.

He should've already started training Luke if that was his plan.

Yeah he'd cut off all of our limbs. Like he did to Pig-Nose and A'Sharad Hett.

In fact let's get Hett off of Tatooine instead of Obi-Wan :^)
>>
>>4013888
Obi wan whole mission is to protect Luke and keep him secret he isn't going to care about us asking for his help
>>
If we're adhering to nucanon or any kind of canon, Obi was actually watching over Luke on Tatooine. It's not like he'd just fuck off there for any other reason. Unless Kaz is going to change Anakin's retarded mistake of not checking on his uncle, Obi still kind of has a reason not to interfere with things until Luke is ready.
>>
>>4013890
The vong loving retard would be the first to jump to excessive mutilation.
>>
>>4013893
Palpatine told Anakin his babies died. He had no reason to go to Tatooine, and that would also tip people off to who he was, which was a secret.
>>
>>4013896
Plus Tatooine is a bit of a sore spot for him. He was a slave there, his mom died there... and the sand. God the sand.

>>4013890
>>4013895
I don't know about you but I think that's actually a pretty good idea. I think Hett actually knows Vapaad, which ends up turning him, but if we can get to him first then we could save him!
>>
>>4013911
>which ends up turning him
No that was the being ostracized from his people, Sith Holocrons, and horrible Vong torture.

And I don't think he knew Vapaad. Maybe Juyo.

Been looking through his wiki, turns out he uses Jar'kai just like us! We do use Jar'Kai right? Or do we just have one saber as a backup?

It stops being Makashi.
>>
>>4013893
We're adhering to EU here I believe, which mean Vader never went to Tatooine. Obi-Wan worries about that very idea in the Vader book that followed the RoTS novelization. But Qui-Gons' spirit said...

"The core of Anakin that resides in Vader grasps that Tatooine is the source of nearly everything that causes him pain. Vader will never set foot on Tatooine, if only out of fear of reawakening Anakin."

So yeah, Luke's safe.

But there's whole forms of fencing based atound using two blades, one for defense and the other for attack. Unless you're saying we can somehow take Jar'kai's aggression and mix it with Makashi's precision.

Artos seems to visibly deflate as you pay for both the HK and the tactical droid. “...honored one, I will pray to the Flame that you will ignore this wicked one’s advice in the search for his missing body. Not a single one of my prior customers have come close to finding anything save for painful death.”

“Statement: Save your prayers for your twin hearts. Between you and my new master, you will need them more for how much junk you shove into your mouth. Addendum: it is to my utmost hope that you continue with your diet as I will no longer be around to berate you, meatbag.”

...push comes to shove, you’ve at least got a portable protocol droid. All you now have to figure out is how to take him with you without drawing too much attention. A head laying about in a stroller, even a droids, would be something considered strange even in the Outer Regions.

>>You have gained the head of HK-82.
>>Unravel the mystery of HK-82 and restore him to his proper functionality.

The super-tactical droid is an entirely different beast. When last you checked, the Separatists controlled their droids with remote signals from their capital ships, transmitting commands and coding to the rank-and-file via dissemination from a central unit...not unlike the one standing before you. Surrounded with a number of droids that many Jedi would have considered a “difficult exercise in staying alive."

“Fear not, honored one!” the droid merchant answers as you bring this concern to him. “I have taken great care to ensure such a thing does not happen.”

You examine the tactical droid, murmuring, “I don’t see a restraining bolt on him.”

“Restraining bolts are such a barbaric thing. Each droid you see before you are running on isolated networks, entirely localized within their memory cores. It is impossible for them to interface with other droids beyond a physical connection; their wireless transmitters have been disabled to prevent such transmissions from occurring.”

“Disabled permanently?” you ask.

Altos’s mouth curls up in a wry, knowing smile: “The transmitters will automatically deactivate once the Great Trade ends, or once the owner, which is you, leaves the system. A precaution, you understand? It would not do to have a network of droids rampaging in the slave markets during the Great Trade.”

...well there goes that plan.

The merchant unhooks an energy pack from his belt, slotting it into the receiver within the droid’s chest. “A single charge should last you more than several years, a decade even! But should you wish to recharge, this one has been converted to interface with any basic ship’s power system.”

Oh god, a B3 would be fantastic. We'd be able to use a single one to take out entire squads of Clone Troopers and any Inquisitors that accompany them too.
Things were damn broken.
Oh, and it turns out that just before the clone wars ended, there was an upgraded version of the Droideka.
The Mk II
7 Blaster Cannons and 2 Ion Cannons

Now that's a droid right there.

B3, Rolly-Polly Mk II, would be an amazing combo. Though we would need a regular B1 For the Lolz and actually have conversations with it. Maybe augment it into a B1 Commander, thats slightly smarter.

The droid activates with a noticeable clunk, jerking to life as energy courses through its body. Its optical receptors shine with a glowing red as it registers

“This unit stands ready to receive orders,” the droid recites in a monotone voice, “Awaiting designation of primary owner.”
Artos gestures for you to speak, and you answer: “Yes, I am the one who has purchased you....” The merchant continues to motion for you to continue. “...I am Farren Gaelle. And you are now my pro...droid.”

The droid stills, humming and chirping as his programming accepts the command. “...registering new user. {Farren Gaelle} has been designated owner of this unit. Super-tactical Droid ST-B33 awaits your orders.”

...it certainly doesn’t sound like any of the super-tactical droids you’ve read about.

“Procedural learning, honored one” the merchant explains, “The unit will learn the more trouble you get yourself into. If you insist on spending a long duration of time within the Unknown Regions, then you could have picked no better droid than this one. It will adapt and learn to augment your own defenses.”

Somehow, you’re doubtful, but decide to give B-33 the benefit of the doubt. From your belt, you produce Nomiana’s pistol. The droid stares at it, processors audibly humming and receptor lenses twitching as he analyzes the weapon...

...and grabs the weapon by the barrel.

Even as Artos visibly cringes, HK-82 seems to have ready your mind from the bag you’ve stuffed him in. “Statement: Oh, master,” his voice comes muffled, “I can already tell this one’s going to be more trouble than it’s worth.”

>>Later

It takes about five minutes of “procedural learning” before B33 manages to hold the gun correctly. For your trouble, Artos throws in a pair of E-5 blaster rifles in an attempt to save face. These, you accept gingerly, and give them to B33. And at the very least, the suptac droid manages to place the guns properly on its hips. Nomiana’s pistol returns to your own belt, right alongside your lightsabers.

“I wish you safe travels, honored one,” the alien merchant bows low as you depart from his shop, “And that you will return to purchase more droids.”

“Pleasure doing business with you, Altos,” you reply as you clasp hands, “I hope you stay safe.”

No less than ten minutes of parting from his company does your communicator flash with a message. It’s a communiqué from Keimann, and it seems that his raid on the arsenal was a success with Torok’s help.

>{...the raid was a success...one million slaves stand ready to fight...}
>{...the match is struck, and the flame burns bright....}
>{...Are you ready to start the fire?}

The same faction with Thrawn in it. It's easy to cherry pick on either end of the competence scale.

Heat generated by laser sword? I dunno.

It's designed to make your opponent panic and think it's going to be hard to defend against you when you attack, which really isn't. Kind of like how double-bladed lightsabers are only really beneficial in allowing you to strike again with the other blade just without that utility. Kanan panics and struggles with it in Rebels before he gets pissed when he thinks Ezra dies, which makes him realize all he need to do is cut the fucking thing in half while the inquisitor is showing off.

They actually ARE the ones trained for combat anyways. Issue is people think the fancy laser sword is all it takes to be a jedi.

They fail to realize it takes years of intensive training in combat, methodology and literally magic too. Most jedi lacked the … proper mindset to be merciless killers, the ones that do and don't fall to the dark? they are fucking terrors in a fight.
>>
>>4014421
>Some people thought the same of Kylo's retarded crossguard.
If it weren't for the fact that lightsabers got stuck to each other basically every single time they've been shown that might be true. Sadly, it was just retarded.

>>4014422
>Eh, it looks like it’ll just limit wrist movement
Not really. You can just rotate the thing away a bit and have full range of motion. Thanks to the fact that a lightsaber doesn't have an edge you can hold it however you want and not worry about losing cutting power. Just keep it canted a bit and you'll probably never end up touching the ring with any part of your arm.

>>The Boss Bantha

“...you must be aware,” the construct known as Kreia tersely finished, her patience nearly at its end. Of all the fates that she had expected, the delegation of youngling training was not something she could have foreseen. “That devoid of your lightsaber and your connection to the Force, you would be little more than defenseless children. Relying on both will lead you only to ruin.”

“Then how would we fight?” the impetuous one, Luaine demands of her. Out of all the younglings, she is the one that challenges her the most. A difficult child, but not one devoid of promise. “Do you want us to take up a vibroblade?”

“A blaster is just a good a weapon as any. I have known several arrogant Jedi in my lifetime, fools who had run off to fight the Mandolorians only to be cut down by a hail of blaster rounds. Over-reliance is just as self-harming of a poison as is overconfidence."

The littlest one blinks his wide, alien eyes, and innocently ventures, “But Master Kenobi called them ‘uncivilized.’”

“It would be unwise of you to discount the weapons of those without a connection to the Force.” She points a holographic finger towards the inert control remotes. “You are lucky to have a mentor that does not hold back."

“He’s a big jerk,” grumbles Ritho, rubbing a sore spot on one of her tentacles, “...it’s not fair for the control remotes to shoot that quickly...”

Several of the younglings take up the complaint, scratching bruises and rubbing sore spots where they had not been quick enough to defend from the remotes. As per the Cathar's instructions, she had seen the dispensation of their training. But there are a few who remain otherwise silent even as their fellows complain. The wiser ones among the group.

“The galaxy is seldom fair,” Kreia agrees, “But holding resentment is an exercise in futility. From what I have seen, both he and the Cathar seem committed to keeping you alive, and do not ‘torture’ you so as an act of cruelty. Surely you would not be so childish as to deny this obvious fact.”

Luaine’s temper finally gets the better of her, and the young girl snaps, “We are only kids! I’m barely fourteen, and the rest are as young as seven! We should run; once Farren and Torok come back, we run as far away as we can, find a planet where the clones and Empire can’t reach us and just...who cares who’s in charge of the galaxy-”

The response comes quickly and severely, harsh enough to make them all jump. “Foolish child! Apathy is death. Worse than death, because at least a rotting corpse feeds the beast and the insects. Your lax complacency and cowardice would see the efforts of all your teachers, your fallen brothers and sisters, and even Farren’s to be nothing but a waste.”

Are you a slow-in-the-mind mate? The KOTOR Jedi Order and Golden Age Jedi Order are completely different.

Back in her time it was even more dogmatic and martial, but they let Jedi get married and stuff. Before Order 66 it was more monastic, but also political and tied in with the Republic. (Though less tangled up in politics than the Dragluch Jedi Order.)

Cowed into silence, the construct continues, “Tyrants have risen and fallen, from the Infinite and Sith Empires to test the will and strength of the sentient life of the galaxy, of the Republic. The enemy that would seek your destruction is an insidious foe, one who has won. But do you not see it?”


“See what?” a brave human boy ventures.

The seeds had been sown. All that was left is for Kreia to see them flourish. “We are locked in a cycle, an eternal struggle between the Light and Dark Sides of the Force. Defeating the enemy is but the first step in ensuring peace throughout the galaxy and breaking this wretched cycle.”

“And what would that be?”

The construct smiles. She has their attention. “The final enemy that we must defeat is none other than the F-”

Suddenly, of the younglings suddenly collapses with a terrible scream. And for the second time since her activation, Kria is visibly surprised. In the life of the woman she had been based on, there is no recollection of bringing someone to their knees with naught but her words.

It is the Miralukan, whose appearance had been a surprise given their species’ relative frailness against an uncaring universe. The Handmaiden would . The Force bleeds off the child like a putrid scent, enveloping her in a cocoon of power. She writhes on the floor, gasping and clawing at the space where her eyes might be.

Her peers fearfully withdraw, half of them hesitant to touch her even as the other half quickly turn towards Kreia. The construct resists the urge to scoff. “Attend to her! Can you not see she is in pain? Do not be afraid of the power that roils off of her. Hold her down and summon the machine before she hurts herself!”

The impetuous one is the first one to move, falling upon her friend’s arm. It is not nearly enough to stop her seizure. “Nujem, Parn, I need your help! I can’t hold Celya down by myself!” The Kalleran and human boys spring into action, each taking hold of a flailing limb. “She’s...and somebody get Doc!”

“Right!” Fusan runs as fast as his little legs can take him. “Doc! Doc, come quick! We need your help...”

As the younglings attend to their comrade, Kreia could not help but wonder what had brought such a phenomena. Miraluka had always displayed a closer connection to the Force than most races of the galaxy.

“What happened, child?” she asks, not unkindly.

Celya pulls her hands away, and several of the children gasp and recoil; even she is nonplussed. Her wild clawing has gouged out the covering of her eyes. But where there might be empty sockets, blue orbs of power pulse brightly, cycling like violent heartbeat.

But as quick as it comes, it disappears. The orbs of light vanish, leaving hollow sockets that are masked by the girl’s headpiece. Gently, her friends lower her onto the ground, packing their robes underneath her as they tentatively wipe at the crimson tears that drip from her eyes.

The Arconan approaches with the medical droid in tow, but Kreia holds a hand to stop them. “Child,” she says with a firmer tone of voice, “What did you see?”

Luaine shoots a hostile glare at her. “Celya is in no condition to talk, you old bat!”

Ah, how this one so often reminds her of the fool. Somehow, it’s even worse coming from a fellow female. How on earth she had been able to tolerate him for more than an hour is a mystery that you cannot even ponder. Often times, her progenitor had wondered if his abrasiveness was a an inborn trait unique to his gender, or the circumstances of his own upbringing.

"...speak," Kreia repeats.

“...I...I saw...” Celya hesitates, seemingly on the cusp of withdrawing into herself. “...it was nothing! I’m fine...”

“Speak, child! You clearly saw something. Do not refrain from sharing it with the rest of us.” The construct leans closer. “It is something that clearly is of great impact.”

The girl shivers violently, but accepts the help her friends offer as they prop her up into a sitting position. “...I sense something terrible...something strong in the Dark Side...a terrible shadow that rears and reaves towards the planet..."

Even with her headpiece back on, the look in Celya’s glance as it meet’s Kreia’s is one filled with a terrible fear. And she whispers, “I think that Farren and Torok are in grave danger.”

I mean I'm interested in Luaine personality wise. (The other seem boring.)

But the force seeing visions kid seems like the 'PLOT' kid.
>>
>>4014647
Kreia is a bitter, selfish, and hateful old woman. Killing the Force wouldn't help the galaxy. It wouldn't make a difference. She just doesn't like that she failed at everything she tried because the Force has a will of its own and wants to preserve itself and complete its own goals. Also she doesn't give the droids (the best characters in the fucking game) the respect they deserve.
>>
>>4014659
Trouble with Luaine is that she has tempted by the dark side written all over her. We're not nearly composed enough to deal with that kind of teenage angst yet. Besides, moment one of her friends drops, we've damn well lost her.

I disagree in general. Being a hot head and protective as your friends looks a lot like our Kathar friend for instance. I think with her drive we could as another anon put it (for a different candidate I don't find interesting) We could temper Luaine and make something special.

Not everyone that cares about their friends decides to destroy the republic.
>>
>>4014669
>>4014651
Ceyla would be the third choice. Mostly because she seems to be the most easy to teach. That and having the force to wield means she can do things like mindtricks more often than not, which means we can easily teach her the ropes of doing things without the force.

>>4014673
Dark side doesn't mean destroying the republic, it means doing whatever it takes to do what you want to do, including destroying the republic if necessary.

On my opinion I think these kids we'll be the best candidates for a "shadow Jedi" (sentinel)
>>
>>4014674
Plot kid seems like she might faint at inopportune moments. Otherwise I'm interested.

>>4014675
We're going to have to agree to disagree, I think the darkside is a danger with literally everyone. I'll say again our kathar buddy basically has the same personality traits and you don't see him throwing lightning. Everyone here is going to be tested, and I don't think she's predisposed to failure or falling.
>>
>>4014673
All three of her traits can easily be twisted to the dark side.
Overprotective of her friends what if she needs to use the dark side to save them? What if they died because she wasn't strong enough?
Her hot temper means strong powerful emotion that is looked for in Sith because they can use it to empower themselves.
Competitive can also be twisted. Using the dark side can give her edge.

She actually has much in common with our blueberry fuck buddy.

>>4014681
Some are more at risk to falling to the dark side then others but it is still a risk for all.
>>
Man, if only Mace Windu were alive to train Luaine.

>>4014681
>I'll say again our kathar buddy basically has the same personality traits and you don't see him throwing lightning.
Not yet. We almost lost our shit when we heard what happened. What do you think's going to happen when he sees it? Sure we can talk him down, though.
>>
>>4014685

'Cautious and Methodical' could mean methodically exploring the utility of the dark side. Slow to anger is good, quick to befriend could mean befriending the wrong people.

'Quite and withdrawn' keenly intune with the force could mean especially suceptible to areas of darkside influence.

Proactive and full of vigor and drive could mean fool hardy and willing to take risks like channeling the darkside.

Fretful and moody is bad on the face of it.

Optimistic and eager could quickly tern to pesimism, thriving on conflict is evil!

The seven year old the risk is pretty clear.

You can make anyone a dark jedi/sith in moments. You look past that and look at the potential. I think she's got it in spades.

>>4014702
I don't think he'll fall and if falling is a concern then better to provide a master and train them to resist and be wary.

Alright, but consider the fact you're not ONLY a droid sucking homobot, but a homobot who happens to be wrong.

The Force is divided into two parts, the Living (Us) and the Cosmic. The Cosmic Force is literally a parasite feeding off death in the universe, acting like it's not simply cause it creates its own positive feedback loop. Things die and "return to" (read: are eaten by) The Force, only to have new life spat back out. When it happens to feel it's not getting stuffed enough, guess what happens? It "wills it" so that there's some large galactic conflict to stuff itself full again.

Every horrendous atrocity can be linked back to the Force and its "will". The Mandolorian Wars when the Sith propped up Mandalore as a puppet, Malak bombing Taris, the Purge we're going through now, all so the Force can achieve "balance".

The only one who seems to realize this is Kreia, who rightfully doesn't want her every action and ultimate end to be dictated by some interdimentional tapeworm. The Force is a deaf, dumb, blind animal that thrashes around whenever it thinks it has too much weight on one side, in doing so killing millions, even billions at a time.

There's only one thing to do with such an animal.

Put it down.

tl;dr The Force is the plot, and Rise of Skywalker is what happens when it gets its way.

If only all traits were a susceptible and spontaneous as you think. Like, your first example is one hell of a stretch until you reach the befriend part, which can be mitigated with some stiff direction.

Your girl's got not one but three different personality traits that you have to choke back with a leash.Competitive not so much but still.
>>
>>4014717
What did she say I got distracted by tits?
>>
>>4014718
I think she'll be the most fun character to have around. Fiercely protective could mean realizing just how dangerous the darkside is and refusing to become a risk to them herself.

Hot tempered isn't good, but tempering the temper frees up that competitive drive to be directed properly.

Maybe it's not fair to the others but I find them boring. I want a good padawan and what I'd consider a good or interesting story.

TLDR: I see her as a fun/good choice.

Unfortunately killing the force won't fix the problems with the galaxy at large. Because people will always be people. There will always be conflict and wars and atrocities. And maybe, and this is a hot take, maybe it's a good thing there is an actual entity causing the bullshit that happens. Because at least then shit will always keep on. It'll try to avoid absolute destruction and it'll keep everything from getting too out of control. Even if Kreia is right about the Force being a ultimately self-serving beast she doesn't know that killing it would actually solve any problems. She just assumes it will. Because she can't accept failure.

Also rise of the death of skywalker clan is what happens when you let a bunch of asshats who don't actually care about star wars and also are absolutely creatively bankrupt in charge. I'm not upset, you are. REEEEEEEEEE

“Statement: Master, I must say that you are perhaps the bravest owner I’ve had, as well as the quickest to perish. And you haven’t even gone hunting for my limbs yet!”

“Shut it, 82!” you hiss as you deflect another blaster round. Extending your hand, you use the Force and send several of the Tof right off of a bride and screaming into off the parapet. Once the path is clear, you stomp off towards the second of the barracks that ring the walls of Serano. “I don’t see you helping out!”

“Counterpoint,” the head intones as it hangs from the bag on the back of B33. “I had offered to fulfill my primary function; the facilitation of communication between species in order to put an end to hostilities.”

“Yes, because peace on their terms is throwing me in chains and you into the recycling bin!” You pause to drive one of your lightsabers into a control panel, effectively destroying any chance for the Tof to activate sentry guns or shields. “And unlike with Altos and his customers, there’s no coming back for you!”

“Statement: You raise a very good point, master. Addendum: If you must battle these meatbags, I would appreciate if you would do it in accordance with the laws of the Republic.”

You try not to scream as you bisect a Tof’s sword and counterattack. B33 follows closely behind you, providing cover fire as you make your way deeper through the barracks. “There is no more Republic, 82!”

“Statement: I fail to see the problem master. Explanation: With the breakdown of civilization, I see many opportunities to fulfill the central core of my programming!”

...it’s hopeless.

But your gaze turns towards B33. At least there’s one droid that isn’t about to give you an aggravating headache.

The tactical droid wields a singular blaster to surprisingly good effect. And his progress is astounding. B33 improves with leaps and bounds; his shots become more accurate, and he is less hesitant when drawing a bead and taking aim. It takes him at least two shots to take down one of the Tof, but it’s still a far cry from his earlier attempt to wield a weapon.

“That was the forty-fifth kill made by this unit,” it reports, “Accuracy has increased to a rate of 33%, and efficiency from 10% to 42%. Familiarity with this weapon is nearly complete. Master Gaelle, this unit requests more hostiles in order to grow and develop further.”

“And you’ll be getting it!” you shout as you kick open the third barrack atop the gate. It seems that only after the first minute of shelling, and the second barrack falling to your hand, the Tof have gotten their act together. They don’t wait for you before they all surge towards the opening. “Light ‘em up!”

He readily complies. B33 shoots several of them, remarking, “Their tactics are illogical, Master Gaelle. If they only wait to form a line of battle..."

I guess. I just figure the scale and frequency at which this shit happens would tone down without the force powering people like Sidious to build Death Stars or Star Killers and what not. Plus Kreia's actually a good teacher. Rough but gets the message across fast, no coddling.

Sorry O called you a homobot too. No hard feelings.

Yeah it'd probably tone it down a little bit. Except the Death Star was Tarkin's idea. And yeah Kreia knows how to get a message across but damn anyone who targets children like that. That's how you get a bunch of fucking nihilistic force users who end up fucking shit up down the line because they don't actually understand. Think of the children!

Issue is all the planet killers were science-made not force made. while palps can eat an entire planet Nihilus style, it’s far far easy to shoot it with a big gun.

“Their whole culture is a stew of illogical points and fallacies!” you answer for him, charging into the room. The Tof can barely put up a defense as your ‘sabers cut through their weapons. “They make their spaceships out of wood, dress like they’re from a high-budget period holo-drama, and have somehow not only built, but actively thrive on a culture of piracy and slavery!”

The droid nods. “The information has been recorded for further analysis. Internal calculations expect for this unit’s understanding of tactics to be greatly improved upon the battle’s completion.”

“You’ll get your fill, don’t worry...” you pause in fighting as you hear the tell-tale shriek of fighters screaming overhead. “...matter of fact, let’s head on out now and see what’s happening. Keimann said that they haven’t used their anti-air in a while, but we still need to take out those guns. Just to be safe.”

The lenses of its optics dilate and retract in what you believe to be excitement. Even if it doesn’t know what emotions are...yet. “This unit looks forward to the further assimilation of information.”

Keimann’s assault on the city seems to have been an attack on multiple fronts. Monorail trains packed to the brim with explosives crash high-speed into Serano, detonating and bringing several of the spires down. And the trains without explosives contain a great deal of angry, former slaves. They surge out once the hatches open, indiscriminate in their attacks and uncaring as to whether or not they fall.

Serano has descended into complete and utter chaos. The Tof are quickly realizing that the situation has far exceeded their worst expectations and are demanding reinforcements from the troops stationed around the system. Off-worlders and prospective buyers cower and hide behind their security detail, who fight and blast their way back towards the spaceport docks.

But beyond the walls upon which you stand is the army that masses outside the city. A fleet of transports braves the barren mesas and canyons, weathering the storm of turret fire from the gates of the city. That’s where you come in.

You and B33 carve your way through one station after the next, destroying consoles and eliminating the Tof occupying within them. Slowly but surely, the guns on the parapets fall silent at yours and BB3’s hand. And those that aren’t are quickly blown to smithereens by the fighter squadron.

“Farren!” Keimann’s voice comes in through your comms. The Ferroan sounds like he’s in the thick of battle, wielding his two blasters to great effect on whatever enemy he’s fighting with. “Glad to see you could make our appointment. I was worried that we wouldn’t get support on the wall.”

You grunt as you move onto the next turret, deflecting a hail of bullets from a blaster carbine. “And you’ve got a whole fleet of transports coming to the walls! Kind of overkill, isn’t it?”

“The ones eligible to fight couldn’t all fit on the monorails! Had to put the rest somewhere else!”

“What about the rest of them?”

“The rest are in the habitation modules. Once the fighting’s over, we’re going to sound a general evacuation. Between the off-worlder ships and the Tof’s lying in anchorage, we should have enough for most of them to escape.”

You don’t miss his choice of words as you destroy the sixth station and turret. “...most of them?”

“Was I supposed to lie to them?” he counters.

...no, you don’t think you would have in his place. The grim reality is that even should all of the off-worlder ships and Tof fleet be converted to house all the slaves, there would still be those who would be left behind. And if the worst comes down to it, the slaves would fight among themselves for a chance to get off-world.

Extending your hand, you use the Force to rip one of the rifles out of a handful of marauder guard. You toss the weapon to B33, who catches it and hums appreciatively as he stores his blaster. As the droid merrily goes about test-firing the weapon, you reply, “That’s cold coming from an engineer.”

“I was a war engineer before the Tof ‘aggressively recruited’ me,” he answers dryly as you hear the high-pitched whine of a thermal detonator activating. There’s a rush of wind through the comms as he throws it, and the resulting explosion turns the noise into static for a few seconds. “My family has a history of serving in my species’ military.”

That would certainly explain it. “And what about your charisma? You keep talking about how I was able to lead the slaves, but you’re taking a far more proactive role than I am!”

“...let’s just say I take after my uncle.” He changes the subject as the channel clears up again, “Your friend was a massive help, by the way. I’ve never seen anybody fly the way he does. I’d have passed out a long time ago from the G’s he’s putting into those tricks of his.”

“...yeah, he’s...half the time I can’t even tell if he’s doing it on purpose or on accident.”

“I heard that!” an indignant and familiar voice cuts into the channel, “Brother, you of all people should know that it’s rude to speak about others when they aren’t present.”

You roll your eyes as you take a quick breather. Leaning against a bisected turret, you allow yourself a quick respite from the combat and bloodshed. “Yeah, I know. How’s the fight in the sky, Torok?”

“I’m getting more of a fight from the foreigners than these slaver scum!” the Cathar exults, “These pirates pilot their fighters like they’re fresh out of flight school.”

Keimann chortles. “I agree entirely. They would not have passed the Ferroan Spaceborne Cavalry’s final exam, let alone a preliminary one. But do try not to destroy many of their ships.”

“Only the ones that try to shoot me or your friends out of the sky.”

“That’s nearly all of them!”

You yourself are no novice when it comes to piloting a spacecraft. As well as the culture of banter that comes with the territory. But as nice as it is to engage in idle chatter, you still have a mission that needs completing.

“How many fighters are left?” you ask Torok.

“Not too many, no more than...twenty to thirty of them.”

You stand yourself up from the turret and motion for B33 to follow you. The droid readily follows, leaving behind a smoking pile of Tof bodies that stretch from one end of the parapet to the next. “I think it’s time we go rescue our sister.”

“Finally!” he laughs, “I’ll set down somewhere close and have Brownie take the ship back into the fight. He’s been with me long enough to handle himself in the air.”

Droids flying Jedi starfighters. How wonderful. “Can the rest of your squadron handle the rest of them? The other fighters and the gate stations?”

Keimann quickly cuts in, “They should be able to without too much trouble. Go, Jedi! Save your sister! The two of you have done more than we could have ever hoped for!”

The extra lightsaber at your hip weighs more than ever as with the Ferroan’s blessing, you sprint off towards the Opulent Palace with your droid(s) in tow.

>>The Gates of the Opulent Palace.

The silver spires reach high into the sky, refracting their shine all across the city. It’s an impressive feat of modern architecture and engineering, one you know for a fact that the Tof could never have hoped to build without “consulting” another species. Of course, the transaction could have been one made willingly, but you have little reason to provide them with any sort of benefit.

You and B33 hide yourselves within a side alley, a quiet place that’s almost a world away from the conflict. The silence is almost deafening, a sharp contrast to the carnage and fighting across the spaceport city. It allows for you to gather your thoughts, peaking through the corner to examine the palace.

Three guard towers...a single central gate...smokestack...at least two dozen marauder guard...

You don’t react as Torok drops behind you, and joins in your contemplative analysis of the enemy stronghold.

“There’s quite a lot of them,” he remarks.

“Indeed,” you reply.

“And they’ve bunkered down.”

“Those turrets look nasty.”

"I spot at least three dozen."

"Aye, at least that many."

"...how unfair of them."

"They should have brought more."

"It's going to stick to my fur," Torok grumbles as you make your way down, hugging the walls of the spires before you drop into the filth of the cistern. "...I cannot smell anything already."

Ouch. But you have little in the way to sympathize. Dozens of missions that involved mucking around in sewer filth or waste disposal with Master Larid have all nearly obliterated your olfactory senses.

"Statement: Had I the arms to do so, I would be more than willing to clean your fur, meatbag." HK--82 recites. "Addendum: To the walking tin can, you are dangerously close to bluralinsoindbiabsuabsobo..."

"This unit is insulated from the extremities," B33 says as it wades through a particularly nasty section filled with chest-high filth, and ignorant of how it drowns out the voice of your pacifist hunter-killer. "There is no need for you to worry."

She would never shut the fuck up about it.
>>
>>4015097
The whole Jedi Order was being a dick to him tbf. Specifically ostracized the fuck out of him so he could fulfill the prophecy. Demeaned his achievements ala seat on council but not the ranking required to do so, etc. They all had it coming, and after he started, he just had to wipe em all out. Slippery slope is a hell of a drug.
>>
Hmmm.

So what if we got BEE a buncha probe droids sent to watch Vader in action so it can learn to become the ultimate Anti-Vader droid. Commanding squads of Magna Guards with custom weaponry and techniques created with him in mind, B3s and Droideka mk IIs.

Feed it the security holograms from the Temple too. Optimum youngling killing skill.
>>
>>4015151
Given that force foresight is primarily blocked by having unpredictable tactics made on the spot, any kind of simulation training can only do a fraction of what's necessary to take out a jedi, let alone Vader.

Also I think Vader can force lift droids wholesale, so maybe worry about droidekas being used as bowling balls.

His life was a cascade of being treated poorly by those "above" him and having huge repressed feelings because of it. And then he fails to do what he became a jedi to do which is save his mother. And then he dreams the girl he loves is going to die. All while Palpatine tells him all the stuff he wants to hear. And then his only friend chops off all his fucking limbs and leaves him to burn to death.

He might've turned out okay if it weren't for Palpatine whispering that sith shit into his ear.

>>4014987
There’s little in the way of an actual security presence, nothing beyond cameras or trip sensors scattered throughout the tunnels. And what frantic patrols you do hear coming are easily avoided. HK-82 seems to acknowledge that silence is the better part of valor, remaining silent as B33 not only follows your every move, but mimics your crouches, slides and shimmies.

There is little in the way of an actual map, beyond the occasional arrow pointing somewhere with an accompanying scrawl. With Torok’s limited sense of smell and your own combined powers in the Force, it’s easy enough for you to map out a rough layout of the sewers. The closest exit, and one far away from any of the guards, is only a dozen meters eastward, deeper into the palace.

“This way...”

>>You remain undetected by the Tof security systems and infiltrate the Opulent Palace without any incident.

“I am never doing that again,” the Cathar says with a sneeze as you pull him up from the sewer. The storage room you find yourselves in is stacked nearly wall-to-wall with crates. “Is that what you and your master have been doing for the last twelve years?”

You grunt as you help up B33 from the hole. “More or less...you’d be surprised to find out what he wouldn’t do in order to complete a mission.”

Torok gives you a hand, and the two of you heave and pull a smelly B33 onto the floor of the warehouse. “I’ve heard enough stories from Kristen...”

“Statement: I do believe that I have sludge slowly working its way into my central processing unit.”

“I’ll clean you later, 82,” you promise the head as the three of you stand up. “You and B33 have more than earned your keep.”

The suptac droid accepts the compliment. “This unit is pleased to have executed its primary function.”

“Let’s get our bearing first...hold on...” Torok frowns, pressing one of his nostrils to expel a murky substance from the other that you have little desire to ponder about. “My sense of smell is still kriffed from the sewers...”

You roll your eyes. “I’m never going to hear the end of this.”

“No, it’s not that...” He tastes the air again, frowning at what he seems to register. “...ugh! I smell several things. Durasteel, food waste, titanium, ingots of iron and unprocessed ore, blocks of carbonite and unprocessed hfredium! Did we take a wrong turn and land ourselves in some sort of refinery?”

“It could be the crates...” you lightly tap one with the toe of your boot. “Probably raw materials the Tof harvest and ship from the other planets in the system. And no, we couldn’t have. I know for a fact that we’re in the palace. Do you not sense it?”

He knows what you refer to, the auras of fear that permeate the atmosphere. There are some pockets of hope and glee, likely the slaves serving the Tof. But the fear of the Tof and their guests...

Vader would think we are the coolest.
God damn it.

It's like what he did.
On a planetary scale.

“They should be.” His smile takes on a feral, sinister edge. “All slavers are the same, never thinking about how the tables are quick to turn on them.”

You give him a flat look and a hard tap on the shoulder. “Careful. That kind of thinking is dangerous for a Jedi.”

“You’ve never had to live with your people nearly exterminated,” he counters aggressively, but not with any animosity.

“A fair point, but there are plenty of humans that we’ve seen in the cages.”

Before your discussion can continue, a door on the opposite end of the wall opens. In walks not a Tof, but a muun. In the dim environment of the room, you can make out the blinking light of a slave collar, and his long face illuminated by the datapad in his hands. He comes to a standstill, so caught up in his cataloging that he doesn’t see you until the last second.

“Who are...Jedi?” the technician blinks, staring you up and down as he recognizes the robes that Torok wears. “That means you’re...” The blood visibly drains from his face as he beholds you in a new light. “Oh no...oh no, no, no, no-”

He tries to run. It’s a simple matter for both you and Torok to reach out with the Force and pull him back towards into the room. If not for the situation, you’d find it humorous, watching the mun scrambling and flail for a handhold against the slippery floor of the palace. Kristen would have certainly laughed.

“Please don’t kill me!” he wails as you close the door and stand over him.

“Shut up and we won’t,” Torok answers with a growl, “Your Tof masters are the only ones that we’re killing today.”

Even 82 chimes into the conversation. “Statement: it would be wise for you to facilitate our search and rescue, meatbag. My master has made many orphans and widows over the course of the battle today.”

“Jedi don’t kill unarmed prisoners,” you recite, “Tell us what we want to know, and we’ll be on our way...” Pausing, you give the mun technician a good looking over, who cringes as you meet his gaze. “...but I have a feeling you already know what we want, hmmm?”

Torok grabs the muun by the front of his shirt, and lifts him high enough to see his teeth. He growls, low and threatening, “Where is the Jedi Kristen Corrho?”

“The Zabrak? She’s in the prison on the far side of the palace, down a deep well!” The muun trembles uncontrollably. “Please, I swear, I’m telling the truth!”

You and your brother exchange a surprised look. Master Aure is still alive? How wonderful! Another Jedi Master to give you guidance on your journey, and one who’s a friend of Master Larid! The Force certainly works in mysterious ways...

“Master Aure later,” your brother agrees at your silent communication, “Kristen first.”

You take over the interrogation, jabbing the muun with a pointed finger. “A bright spot in an otherwise awful day, but not the one we're looking for.”

“...you don’t mean...the human girl?” the technician concludes, understanding on his face, “The woman the zabrak had at her side?” At your stern nod, what little blood still in his face drains completely. “Oh no...”

Torok gives your prisoner a little shake. “What’s the matter? Cat got your tongue? You know who she is, now out with it! Where is she?”

The muun begins to tremble uncontrollably. “...please, please, please...not my fault...not my fault...”

The lights overhead flicker as the castle shakes from some distant explosion, plunging the room into darkness. And even when the lights come back on, the room still has that same cold feeling as the two of you stare deeply into the muun’s terrified face.

Slowly, and with very word a deliberate enunciation, you grit out: “What? Happened? To her?”

Torok drops the muun, whose legs give way. He shrinks in on himself, clutching his datapad as if it is a lifeline. “...the gallery...the gallery...please...I’ll...I’ll take you to your friend...”

>>The Galleria of Splendor

As far as art displays go, the curator of the palace could certainly work on cultivating his taste. There are abstract paintings, delicate antiques from almost all corners of the galaxy. Certainly no shortage of portraits of Tof captains and admirals in all their period costume glory. Price tags hang from each one, reading out a price that only the most affluent of off-worlders could hope to buy. An entire warehouse of gaudy and trashy art for only those of the most questionable and degenerate taste.

And Kristen is the centerpiece of the display.

The block of carbonite her body is trapped in has preserved her well, trapping her final moments with nearly faithful accuracy. Her eyes are open, and frozen tears run down the length of her cheeks. But what imbibes this piece with a tragic beauty is not the feathers and other adornments that decorate the block, but the silent scream, one of desperation and primal fear, that captivates the viewer.

Your fingers go numb, and your lightsabers clatter to the floor, all but forgotten at the sight of your sister. “...Kristen?”

You reach out with the Force...

...and you sense nothing.

How is this possible? The machine reads out a pulse, a measure of life from the beating of her heart. Her body is still alive, is it not, trapped in that scream? Her body is still alive, but reaching out with the Force to touch her petrified form reveals again, and again...

...nothing.

The world is white noise save for the terrible sight, and a tempest of emotions that rips through your body. You seized by it like a ship in a storm, helpless against the roiling thunder. You don’t remember what happens, but when you come back to your senses, you pull back a bloody fist from the Mun’s face. Pressed up against the control console with your other hand, he is helpless as you try to make sense of this, try to understand what could have happened.

“Kristen?” Torok’s voice is as fragile as glass. The ground trembles as he sinks to his knees, staring incomprehensibly at the sight of your fellow Salamander. “Kristen...please...wake up...wake up...we’re here to save you...”

But you don’t care for him, or HK-82 or B33. As far as you’re concerned, the only ones in the room are you, Kristen, and the muun technician who knew what had happened. And you draw back for another strike, uncaring at his pleas and screams.

“What did you do?” you roar as you smash his head against the console. Sparks fly and plastic cracks from where you smash the Muun’s head into the console. “Answer me! What have you done?! What have they done?!”

The technician wails piteously, holding his hands up for clemency, “Please, I tried to stop them! I warned the Tof that carbonite freezing was already a dangerous process, even beyond our limited experience. You have to believe me! Preserving both vital signs and brain function isn’t guaranteed, but they wanted to ‘test it out’-”

You slam him against the console again. “I’m gonna-“

“Master Aure!” Kristen’s voice screams from unseen speakers, and the sheer uncharacteristic panic and terror in her voice is enough to stop your heart. Torok’s eyes widen, and his breath hitches in his chest. It’s a recording, you realize, programmed into the display. It must have activated when you threw the muun against it. “Save me! PLEASEEEEEEEE!”

“Let her go, you bastards!” Aure’s voice doesn’t come far behind, amidst the guttural laughter of some unseen Tof. “Stop it! Do whatever you want to me, but let her go, you sick-!”

“Master! Master...! Please----! It hurts, it hurts, make it-!” And there’s nothing but a deep noise, like the rush of wind on a harsh summer day. And your sister’s voice is slowly drowned by the winds, and lost within the hiss of solidifying carbonite. “MaStErRRRRRRRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...”

The recording ends, cutting off Master Aure’s primal scream of rage, and the only thing that remains is the echo of Kristen’s terrified scream that lingers in the galleria.

“...I only did as I was told...” the muun whimpers as you drop him from numb hands, “...I tried, I really tried to warn...”

The sound of your heart beats violently in your ears, drowning all other senses. Torok’s broken murmuring, the muun’s tearful pleas...somehow, this...this is even worse than what you felt a week ago, that disturbance in the Force that brought you to your knees...

...how ironic. When now, it is the absence of the Force that completely destroys you.

Due to how they had zero experience with freezing they failed to save brain fucntion and vital signs. She's brain dead.

There's a hope with the force that we can maybe bring her back to herself or something. But at the moment she's ded.

>>4016120
far as I know no, but, I don't know, I'm just mad.

Only only voting to center ourselves so we can get her out of the carbinte. If I thought we could do it alone I'd be voting to kill everything.

There are ways to get someone back from it... technically.

Through the Force all things are possible. It's possible that we could reach out to her spirit if we git gud enough and try to stuff it back into her body with intense healing. Or, uh. At worst, restore brain function, even if she'd technically be a different person.

Thank God we have Kreia.
She might just know a method to save Kristen.

*priorities*, goddammit. We get Aure and Kristen off-planet, even if we have to haul Kristen to the ship as a carbonite slab and defrost her somewhere else!
We do NOT need to stain our hands in Tof blood in this manner, the slaves will do that for us.

Its not like we are going to turn into Darth Retardus if we let go for a change. This way we get closer to the balanced center as well as closer to Form VII. Control and insight, not blind dogma or crack-addled hedonism.

>>
>>4016157
If we ask her sincerely, she might see it as a step away from the stupid Jedi 'no attachments ever' thing and at least consider it.
Plus, she used to be able to at least bring herself really close to death, so she may have insights there?
I'm grasping at straws here, to be honest.

Well, shit...I believe in our girl though.
Didn't Maul come back from being chopped in half? Force juice is some crazy shit

Kriea might be enough of a cunt to be all "Attachments? None of them? that was the good part!"

Although actually with as much as she liked the Exile and his attachment powers maybe not.

Shadow running: Kera pretends to be her, using her memories and stealing her body. She 'is' her but she is also Kera now. They... blend.. she will push onward to kill the force, you can't stop her brother!

Maul was a darth and dark side. Not to mention, he was completely insane before his mind was brought back with Nightsister magic, which we could use if we went darkside or made friends with what remains of them.

No.

ask to this muun if here they have the machine for reverse the process, so we might liberate her without using the lightsaber.

>>
>>4016080
>Center yourself and tell the muun to get out of your sight. [Gain Light Side points.]

Didn’t Anakin, Obi-Wan, Ashoka and the clones survive Carbonite in TCW? So there’s a chance we can bring her back surely.
>>
>>4016287
She isn't brain dead, she's essentially in a coma with a risk for further complications.
>>
>>4016280
>>4016282
>>4016287
Unless we have a force healer on hand, anda DAMN good one? and provided her animus has not just moved on? we might save her, maybe.

If we lack those things though she's just going to waste away until she does properly expire. I would rather look at it realistically and prepare for the worst while hoping for the best.


>>4016295
They did, but the toff's fucked this up badly apparently.
>>
>>4016295
They were carbonized with the purpose of surviving and infiltrating a separatist facility. Kristen is now a beautiful sculpture of a young woman with space magic screaming and crying in fear.
>>
>>4016284
We're totally not going to Rise of Skywalker our way out of this. Too cheap and too painful in the memory of that shitty, shitty movie.
>>
>>4016287
If that's the case, we should leave her frozen for now. Unless we have a means to help her, thawing her out just means we have a vegetable to care for rather than a convenient frozen vegetable, and who knows what damage thawing her out could do if we don't know what we're doing? Though that raises the question of how we could cart her around (are there any convenient dollies nearby?).
>>
>>4016295
>implying the Tof's are at the same level as Bespin
>>
On the one hand I agree, on the other it seems exceedingly cruel to introduce something like this and have there be absolutely no way to help.
>>
>>4016308
I actually agree—while I don't know if it's in character for us, ooc it makes more sense to try to infiltrate a hospital or at least steal a droid with advanced medical knowledge that can teach us how to undo freezing or at least care for a vegetable jedi.
Actually, come to think of it, we didn't take that 'Doc' droid from the chapter house, did we? Could've proved useful here.
>>
I do wonder how Kaz plans this sorta thing out. Did the Tofs botch their roll horribly, Kirsten didnt make her save etc. Or it's all set when we landed on the planet
>>
>>4016303
Just learn Dark Transfer.

>>4016301
Still doesn't mean we can't save her.
Or at least get her out of the carbonite.
Petrification fetishists are the worst.
Holocaust the Tof.

Imagine if Anakin had this happen to him.
>>
>>4016308

there is a possibility that they have a machine for unfroze her here
>>
>>4016299
The medical droid is already keeping one comatose jedi in stable condition, it can handle one more while we consult holocrons and put every spare skill point into force healing.
>>
>>4016321
Honestly, I'd assume the latter. But maybe that's just cause I tend to do it that way. Like, creating multiple impactful scenarios to introduce people to and then have dice decide between them when people can't tell seems like pointless busywork, especially when some of those scenarios always come together better than others..
>>
>>4016343
a heart attack is a LOT easier to recover from than being brain dead and possibly having your spirit already become one with the force because you never got taught the force ghost trick.


If anything our master's body will trend towards recovery as time goes by, but her condition will only get worse, as the longer she's like this the more the neural pathways will erode.


TLDR: Our Master is in a LOT better spot for recovery than our friend.
>>
>Center yourself and tell the muun to get out of your sight. [Gain Light side points]
Killing this pleb serves no purpose beyond intimidation and shutting him up. Force devil has to offer better deal to make me go for it.

Also, I have a hypothesis on what happened here.
She was on mission here, got caught, tortured and frozen.
What she also had was a force bond with her master and when O66 happened, her master got killed and the force bond turned empty, causing a wound in the force to emerge.

Now, there has been cases of this sort of thing happening before and funnily enough, Kreia was there last time when incident like this occurred.

I believe that the key to actually resurrecting this girl from her catatonic state is to re-fill the force bond with something.

If that doesn't work, it's probably physical damage, meaning force heal, dark transfer, nano-droids and various other drastic treatments do exist.
>>
>>4016080
>Center yourself and tell the muun to get out of your sight. [Gain Light Side points.]
DON'T BLAME THE FUCKING TOOL FOR WHAT THE WIELDER DID!
>>
If she's frozen doesn't it mean she WON'T degrade further? I thought carbonite is like stasis.
>>
>>4016357
>What she also had was a force bond with her master and when O66 happened, her master got killed
He's still alive, he's stuck in the cell they shoved him in after forcing him to watch them doing this to his Padawan.

They just fucked up the process and made her brain dead because they're a bunch of ass backwards twits who revel in causing others pain.
>>
>>4016357
>What she also had was a force bond with her master and when O66 happened, her master got killed and the force bond turned empty, causing a wound in the force to emerge.
Uh, dude, she's alive. The master, I mean.

>STRIKE HIM DOWN. GIVE IN TO OUR HATRED

It is.
We could keep her in there for a decade and she wouldn't age a day.
Which we should probably do.
Til we can heal her at least.
>>
>>4016352
Then once our master has recovered, Doc can focus on Kristen while we try to help heal her. The fact that a non-force sensitive has recovered from similar brain-death with the help of a jedi is being overlooked. She is a force-sensitive with several (min 2 max 11) jedi who can lend themselves to healing. Her spirit has not become one with the force, that would require her full, physical death.
>>
So how we take her our from here ? Force push walls and then outside, or a big hole from the roof and the boss bantha takes it and we go out ?


we need to wait for the boss bantha in both cases and that means Torok, gets the starfighter and then he returns here (but at least when he is here, he can get back inside the starfighter since is astromech can fly the starfighter)

There’s this book that the Smithsonian museum had accompanying a Star Wars exhibit they had in the late 90s. It’s a blue book called “Star Wars: The Magic of Myth”, and my folks bought for me as a souvenir. It goes into a lot of the mythology and that Lucas took inspiration from such as Greek, Norse (Volsunga Saga), Arthurian and even Inca legends. I read that book back-to-back as a kid multiple times for the cool pictures and Ralph McQuarrie‘s paintings; later as a teen for the discourse on Joseph Campbell's “Hero’s Journey”. Really left a profound impact on me and how I approach Star Wars as a whole (and classic literature to a certain extent).

But to answer your question, Kristen’s fate was already set when you entered the planet. Pic related “Orpheus Mourning the Death of Eurydice” was the specific inspiration for this plot point. But what isn’t set in stone is Kristen’s fate, and you may fare better than that minstrel of old should you wish to bring her back to life.

Only one question remains: how far will you go, Orpheus, to bring back your own Eurydice from the underworld?
>>
>>4016377
Yeah, we don't have much to worry about then in that regard. As long as she stays in there and her soul didn't leave in the process of being frozen, she should be healable after being unfrozen.
>>
>>4016323
I mean, he only killed like a single village of Tusken Raiders.
Despite picking the Light Side option, that doesn't mean that the Tof Question does not require a final solution.
>>

To be honest, not much of a price to pay since we're a Jedi.
At least I hope so! A Jedi can come up with a variation of the Miraluka Force Vision, r-right?
If not then I hope cybernetic eyes are a thing in Star Wars.
>>
>>4016397
To be fair, Kaz, I was hoping you'd be above predictable forced drama.

I'm betting the actual price would be something that would be legitimately difficult for us to do or there would be a dice roll challenge that would affect our resolve.

>>4016343
>put every spare skill point into force healing

there is a way to bring her back
the dark side of the force is a gateway to abilitys, that many consider to be unnatural
Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Plagueis The Wise?
It's a Sith legend. Darth Plagueis was a Dark Lord of the Sith, so powerful and so wise he could use the Force to influence the midichlorians to create life… He had such a knowledge of the dark side, he could even keep the ones he cared about from dying.

>Strike him down and give in to your anger. [Gain temporary +1d6 to Lightsaber/ +1d10 to Force for the rest of the mission, gain Dark Side points.]

>>4016438
I think Force Healing is worth investigating, if only so that we can seal up wounds we and our party members sustain on missions. And with Kristen to heal, that's enough to push my vote solidly into Force Healing until we find another lead.
>>
>>4016430
>predictable forced drama
Let's be real, what were you expecting when we heard she had been captured? If anything, I'm surprised we have a chance to save her instead of just keeping her displayed on our ship. Forced is a tough word to use when we had no idea what had happened to her other than something bad. It's not like we had a way to prevent this, shit just happens sometimes. Kaz wrote it but what do you think would've happened? What would you have done?

YOU AIN'T THE ONLY ONE HERE EHO CAN CRAFT A COMPLEX NARATIVE BOI.

Shut the fuck up anon, that relates to DEATH, like REGULAR ass death, not brain death.
>>
>>4016446
>What would you have done?
By which I mean, how would you have written it?
>>
>>4016442
But she's not dead. She's just brain dead.
>>
>>4016430
I don't get this. As a QM you to decide on the situations NPCs are encountered in all the time. It can't all be rolled, and this is the setup thread, of course we're gonna be thrown some curve balls some we can get a feel for the tone of the quest. What'd be cheap would be deciding that we can do nothing at all, but considering the Jedi Purge is the basic premise, it wouldn't be that farfetched. (Just having be unrelated parties would be weird.)

And, well it's Star Wars. Of course there's drama.
>>
>>4016449
>inb4 some dark side faggot has the technology and we descend further and further into the darkside to save her
That would be really, really dumb.
>>
>>4016455
Well he did say he was trying to reduce the number of potential waifus.

Guess its time to go rescue our fuckbuddy, Rambo.
>>
I'd wager if there was a 'chance' earlier on to save her, it would have meant going straight for her and abandoning the slaves instead of leading a revolution.

If you want to save one person specifically, maybe be selfish and go save them.
>>
All I'm hearing is a bunch of "I want my cake. And to eat it too.". Also your waifu is shit.
>>
>>4016430
>Predictable Forced drama
Yes, but if I had her jump up, take her lightsaber back and fall in by your side like Princess Leia in “A New Hope”, then that wouldn’t be narratively appropriate.

It’s the beginning of the Dark Times. The extermination of the Jedi, the oppression of non-humans and the brutal tyranny of the Empire have only just begun. I have to set the mood somehow. Killing her off-screen lacks punch, and letting her join the party ruins the tone I’d like to set. I find the happy medium of keeping her in between life and death to be not only appropriate, but an excellent plot device to further drive the narrative and give both the MC and anons an emotional investment.
>>
>>4016449
>>4016451
she is dead to the force, that is why we couldnt sens her, its as if her soul is gone, which is why the darker arts will be needed to bring her back
>>
>>4016463
Her fate was set in stone (hah) from the beginning of the quest like he said.
>>
>>4016461
>>4016471
So by extension, instead of being in the middle of Rambo, Arotta is currently experiencing *real* Space Vietnam and is probably horribly traumatized and likely missing several parts of her body.
>>
>>4016461
Thanks, now I'm imagining her with Sylvester Stallone's voice and slur.
>>
>>4016463
Nope, her fate was sealed already as per word of qm.


>>4016475
or we find her body dead but still warm as we missed saving her by minutes.
>>
>>4016483
>or we find her body dead but still warm as we missed saving her by minutes.
So the choice is between Rambo and Platoon. A hard choice, to be certain.
>>
>>4016483
Dumb twists like this only work once
Any more like it and nobody will give a fuck whoever dies.
>>
>>4016446
Honestly, I expected it to have been done better. The entire thing reeks of having been done just to get the players angry, with no chance to actually save her. On top of that we get just a vague promise of "Lol maybe you can if you go full dark side, dunno?"
Not only have we been railroaded into something designed to push us toward the dark side, it also curved balled the entire group of players who's reaction is now "Spend all points on healing." This is also on top of the fact that lightside healing is absolute dog shit and most of the dark side applications create a false mockery, not to mention LEARNING any of them.
>>
>>4016471
Except it doesn't drive the narrative. It just ends up a waste of time. "Oh hey everything you did didn't matter, this was set in stone, lol."
Like you could have set the mood far better then this, I know it because I've read bladebound retainer.
This was literally just the cheapest, most lowbrow twist you could have thought of.
>>
>>4016475
She's going to be the one fighting against an organized military, so she's Vietnamese rambo?
>>
>>4016506
No, yeah, it definitely drives the narrative further. Now we've actually *lost* something important to us. The entire revolution went fucking perfectly to a degree I was getting mad, and despite the Jedi dying all of the players knew that was going to happen anyways.
With this, not only has our *character* lost something, but now the players have as well, essentially losing a character we've already been emotionally invested in.
>>
>>4016498
I can understand if you view it as railroading, which it more or less is. There is no promise to restore her whichever side of the force you choose. Healing should be or priority whether or not Kristen was a beautiful rock: healing means less downtime patching ourselves and our allies up.

Let's all calm down. What's done is done. QM's make mistakes and so do players.

At the very least, this gives us incentive to explore other avenues than just going from planet to planet saving people we know instead of actually doing anything of importance for whatever the hell we're trying to do.
>>
>>4016506
You're absolutely the worst type of player.

It did matter, we arrived and were aware of her situation, we've recovered her body and possibly her master. It's a plot point we can work with.

It's not just a game it's a story.

What you're writing essentially reads to me as: "Failure?! In my power fantasy?! That wasn't supposed to happen! Fuck you QM! The dark reality of the situation can only become apparent if I fail a dice roll!"

Fuck I hate people like you.

>Now we've actually *lost* something important to us.
We haven't lost anything important to us, we as the players have known about her for a single thread. We've also been told that her fate was set in stone so we had no chance at all to save her, meaning that he has set the bar as "Shit you do will be pointless." meaning what point is there to try and save anyone else? He's probably already set their fate in stone.

>>4016517
It didn't matter. Her fate was set in stone, we had no chance to change it no matter how we planned. It was always pointless.
It's a story, but it's a game. We should be able to effect the story, we should be able to make it in time. If he wants to set things in stone, he should write a novel.

It DOES drive the narrative though you fucking ninny. The whole point of coming here was to try and rescue our friend, only for a plot point to turn out that our friend is now braindead.

We react in an appropriate manner that we vote for and develop as a character as a result. You don't know what a "narrative" is. It's a story we tell through series of events and how the character DEALS with said events.

As far as I'm concerned the only problematic element here is you for whining that things aren't going your way. You expect tragedy not to happen here just because it's some sort of power fantasy? Newsflash asshole, this is a good nareative with interesting story beats, YOU'RE just a whiny bitch.

Don't know if you know this Anon given how niche and unknown Star Wars is to the general public but the Empire falls after Luke and Vader kill Sheev. Afraid that participating in the quest is pointless since nothing we do to fight the Empire matters, they'll be defeated anyway. Don't let the blast door hit you on the way out.

It doesn't drive the narrative, it causes kneejerk reactions. Like everyone deciding "Hey, let's dump everything into healing."
We came here to rescue our friend, but there was in fact no chance to rescue our friend. The only pushing of the narrative was to sit back and watch as predetermined plot unveils itself.

>It's a story we tell through series of events and how the character DEALS with said events.
Then why have the game aspect at all? Why interact at all? You could get the same "narrative' experience watching a movie.

>the only problematic element here is you for whining that things aren't going your way.
Nah, I'm complaining because it was literally a retarded twist pulled off in the worst way possible. Just because I'm not sitting here wanking the QM doesn't mean I'm whining because things aren't going my way.

>You expect tragedy not to happen here just because it's some sort of power fantasy?
No, I expect tragedy to be done properly and not a movie I can't interact with.

I'm just saying that this would've been more effective were it meaningful and happened to a character the players had an opinion on other than "she is cute."

No other emotions than shock and momentary anger.
>>
>>4016471
I think the point that anon is trying to make is we had 0 possibility of making a damned difference because it was already written in stone. Meaning the time it took to travel here and our best efforts=entirely pointless. No matter what we chose to do it wouldn't matter. Thereby destroying player agency in the quest. If we say went to save our fuck buddy first thereby allowing certain actions to occur in the background and BECAUSE of that choice this happened to her...that would be understandable and entirely our fault. Yet that isn't the case. It literally didn't matter what players chose to do or not do. It doesn't matter how much time passed or did not pass.

Not to mention the players barely know her from 1 thread. There is no buildup. There is no attachment to the character in question. There is no incentive to actually care. There was NOTHING the players could have done in character to make a difference...so why care exactly? Instead all the players discovered is 'lol your choices do NOT matter'. In that case why bother with a quest where the players are supposedly capable of affecting the story? You might as well write a book at that point because the players cannot do anything unexpected to change things since their choices do not matter at all to begin with.

Now if this was actually the PLAYERS fault I would have applauded it. As it shows the player choices have very real even negative consequences when many QMs are guilty of handholding. It would force them to take their actions more seriously and think ahead of the possible consequences. It would force them to make difficult decisions where they know by choosing one matter over another will mean consequences for those other matters that they are delaying.

how typical

I could see it coming a mile off and it has been strongly hinted at IC anyway - then again, how else could it have been done? Just unlocking a door and giving her a hug would be too easy, her dying offscreen would be cheap. I don't mind it, since it gives something to do beyond the immediate and there's no way to handle it without either being cheesy or pissing people off and we can always decide to leave her on ice. As far as a wasted trip goes, if we hadn't turned up she may well have been sold to fuck knows who and disappeared, never to be found again or requiring an even longer mission to track her down.

What was suppose to happen, then ? We arrive, she doesn't have a scratch and we just leave without any further complication ?

We're not god. We do not have a control in every darn events that occur in the galaxy.

If it was a tabletop RPG, the equivalent of what you're doing would be whining because the GM killed a NPC you were fond of. Even then, it would be understandable cause you might have history with it. You knew her for less than a week.

I previously warned us that everything might not turn out in our advantage and that for all our power, we're still a mortal man. Things won't turn out okay for us.

Anon there's fixed plot points in every game ever made, we're part of the world, not the fucking world itself. Even if something is always going to happen we still have the opportunity to change how it affects the rest of the story.

>>4016593
It's Thread 1 Anon, by that logic we should've just let Tovok bite the dust and ditched Larid and the Younglings since we as the players only have 3 updates they had parts in.

>>4016622
Just because it was always going to happen doesn't mean us coming here was pointless, see the example above
>>
>>4016630
It wasn't a wasted trip. We met a qt mandalorian waifu who is absolutely never ever EVER going to show up again and cause us problems. It'll never happen. There is a 0.0000% chance of it occurring. It is impossible. So sayeth the anons so shall it be true.

Also I'm just going to point out that there are people who care about her as players despite not knowing her simply because she is important to the character they are playing. Or maybe they're mouthbreathing waifufags.
>>
>>4016650
>We arrive, she doesn't have a scratch and we just leave without any further complication ?
To be honest I would have been totally fine with her having lost limbs and maybe an eye. Mostly because that sounds pretty metal.

>>4016655
I meant not that it was a wasted trip, but rather RE the accusations of a wasted trip.
>>
>>4016655
It's role playing. As odd as that sounds you put yourself into the shoes of the character who cares about his 'family.'
>>
>>4016655
It helped that despite it being a one night stand she did show in her own way that she cared about us by giving us one of her guns.
>>
>>4016660
We took a risk. There never was any indication that it would be rewarded. Those kinds of things happen. It sucks. But it happen.
>>
>>4016655
Oh and yeah, she is definitely going to show up again and it's likely going to be either heartwarming or awkward. Blaster duels are not going to be involved. Probably.
>>
>>4016650
Nah, I expected we'd make a choice and arrive in time to actually prevent her death. Not "Lol, it didn't matter in the first place what you did."
This happening if we went to save the twi'lek first, wasting time. That's reasonable, I figured we'd only have a chance to save one not, again, nothing you did mattered.
I fully expect us to arrive at the planet the togruta is on and us finding her dead too, because with the precedent, why expect differently?

>>4016652
The second part is perfectly reasonable consequences.
However, us rushing here to save her and finding out that it was pointless no matter what removes agency. We could have equally fucked around for a week or gone off to try and save the togruta for the same result. We could have immediately rushed the great trade with our dick out for the same result.

Why do anything at all if you will one day die and become a meaningless number in a record some century from now?

That is removing agency. Saying her fate is set in stone and that nothing we did to save her would matter is saying "no."
He didn't say "yes" to get her back either. He said "maybe."

>>4016722
Good. Aerith was shit.
>>
>>4016722
>his parents didn't love him enough to buy him a Gameshark.

Besides, the situation isn't comparable.
Aerith was a developed, story crucial character who is climactically killed by the main villain.
Kristen is basically Uh
Jessie
Or Biggs and Wedge, heh.
>>
>>4016723
We also got her frozen body which we could maybe bring back to life later, as well as her master being alive nearby too, People are crying over nothing

>>
>>4016746
However, Aerith's death served to end her arc. Kristen is not dead, and if we can unfreeze her and revive her successfully, her arc can continue.
This whole deal was "set in stone" so that Farren could have a personal moment of character growth, either further towards light or dark. Not much different than a lot of choices spurring from events in rpg games.
>>
>>4016738
Anon, if her fate was set in stone then there wouldn't be a "maybe" it'd be a flat "Kristen is frozen forever and will never ever live again". This is "Kristen is frozen and right now you don't have any idea how to save her", it's a plot hook, do we choose, as players, to investigate any leads to reverse this or do we just write her off as a lost cause.

The main thing that us coming here first has changed is the slaves fate. We saved them during the Great Trade with all the extra outsider ships to steal, if we waited then most of them would be dead.

>>4016783
>chilling on a planet teaching younglings how to do backflips

How frightening.
>>
>>4016771
That moment of character growth could have been done in a far better way. In a way that wasn't "set in stone." We could have gotten it exactly the same if we were able to save one and the delay caused us to be unable to save the other. Further more, the consequence would be on us as we had to make the choice as players, instead of being forced into it by nothing we do mattering.
>>
Perhaps it would be better if another thread is made.


>>4016685

Howdy
>>
>>4016795
Why is that such an issue here as compared to a video game where we get to make choices, yet events are still scripted?
If the choice was between saving one and not the other, we'd have still had one not being saved be "set in stone" still, you know.
>>
>>4016807
I'm having trouble loading the thread at times, so I'd agree. There's just too many posts.
>>
>>4016809
Because both of them are potentially savable. Our actions in that moment would matter as we alter the story of the quest instead of being told no matter what we couldn't change anything.
It'd also put the consequences on the player's shoulders directly. They're the ones who chose who to save, they're the ones who had to choose who to sacrifice. It makes it connect to the players far better.
Then we get to the point where we find out and it makes it more of a priority to fix. We have to fix our mistake, it was our fault the character ended up like this.

Also, movie games are a plague on the fucking industry.

If there's one thing that I am happy about, it's that I'm sure unfreezing and healing her will be a heartwarming moment when we can save her.

I can't wait for if we ever get to meet Obi-Wan on Tatooine in a decade or whatever.

We are going to screech at him so hard for having his fucking alias be "Ben Kenobi" and having Luke keep the last name Skywalker.

It's like he didn't even try.
As a Jedi Shadow, his lack of effort is offensive.

Shame that Kristen is totally out of the waifu war for good now.
By the time we unfreeze her (in however many years it takes, I'm betting more like a decade), She'll be like 24-ish and we'll be like what, 34 if not older?

God, if she ever does wake up, it's gonna be bizarre as fuck for her.
>Last thing you know you're screaming for your life
>Wake up moments later surrounded by your two fellow padawan but all of them are a decade older.
Additionally, most of the Younglings will be around her age too.
Some might even be knights now.
AND THEN WE NEED TO TELL HER ABOUT THE JEDI PURGE.

...
Depending on what happens to Aure, by the time we unfreeze Kristen, we might be able to finish her Jedi training as her Master.
That's a mind fuck.

Alternatively, we find the method to heal her in like a year.

Man, I hope Kreia has some ideas on how to save Kristen.
Going full Revan 2.0 will be neat at least.
But things just seem so hopeless.

I fear "rescue statue" is just going to slip further and further down the priority list as more shit starts happening.
Hopefully Kreia can begin to teach us more in our Downtime when we get some.

FARREN THE DEATH STAR DESTROYS ALDERON!
>>
Let's get strong enough and then jack the Death Star from the Empire before using it to blow up literally all the Tof planets.
>>
>>4017459
What? Do you think that the Empire would just go on the Space Internet and tell lies?
>>
>>4017548
Who would do such a thing?
>>
>>4017579
According to the empire? Jedi.
>>
>>4017583
According to everyone, Kreia.
>>
>>4017583
Well, from a certain point of view, they are evil.
>>
>>4017587
Based Grandma is going to tell us how to fix Kristen or she's going in the sith cupboard.
>>
Oh god, if we weren't going to butcher the Tof before, now we certainly are.
Kill the technician or no, I can't see us holding off from killing even unarmed Tof in this palace.

Anakin/Vader is reallllly going to want to find the Jedi responsible for this massacre to make them an inquisitor.

He fucking despises Slavers so would consider this a highly positive showing.
>>
>>4017437
FARREN! ANAKIN IS DARTH VADER AND YOU NEED LUKE SKYWALKER TO CONVERT HIM BACK TO THE LIGHT TO KILL EMPEROR PALPATINE!
>>
>>4017667
I hope that when we do go to the Tof butchering, that we won't do it with a lightsaber and instead with a blunt or sharp object enhanced with the force.
>>
>>4017686
Nah.
We'll do it with Kristen's Saber.

If we can't save her at this moment, we will at least get her some small vengeance against the creatures that did this.

It's not the Jedi way?
There is no more Jedi way.
The Order is gone.

WHAT DID I SAY?

Ok, so hear me out.
What if we built up a Droid Army, had B-33 hack the Death Star (when B-33 becomes smart again) and disable the defences along with the life support, and have a droid army take control of the entire Space Station.

Then we go take the Death Star to destroy every single Tof planet.
>>
>>4017863
EVERYTHING!!!!!!
>>
>>4017889
Sounds cool and all but it needs about 20 years to become even semi-operational buddy. Not to mention evicting all the millions of staff members.
>>
>>4017667
To be honest I'm really not looking forward to Vader's opinion on this event. The guy is going to be so impressed and dying to get his hands on the Jedi responsible. We basically did what he did but made it a planetary event. Which is a huge problem as it means we are absolutely going to draw his personal attention and not just some random inquisitor. Considering how nobody can stop Vader until Luke...we are going to be so fucked.
>>
>>4017889
Do they have multiple planets? That seems like too much effort just to exterminate every Tof. We could probably engineer some kind of Force Bullshit in that amount of time, even if would require falling to the Dark Side.
>>
>>4016685
Howdy
>>
>>4017889
A droid army made up of Rolly-Pollies, B3s, and BX Snipers would be Ideal for that plan.
>>
>>4017915
>Do they have multiple planets?
Yeah, they have an interstellar empire in Firefist large enough to fight the Nagai on equal footing.
>>
>>4016080
>Center yourself and tell the muun to get out of your sight. [Gain Light Side points.]
>>
>>4017908
I'm in it for the long haul.
That's 20 years to create a Droid Army numbering in the millions of our own to invade with.
If we hack their defences, we should be able to take control
The eviction mostly comes from turning off all life support.
Meatbags need air, after all.

>>4017909
Oh and *especially* when he enters the palace and that Muun technician reveals what we came for and our reaction to our comrade's "death".
Namely, brutal murder rampage that makes what he did to the Tusken Raiders look like a joke.
>>
>>4017889
B33 got wiped to the point he can't even command other droids, remembers strategy, and isn't a jackass. We desperately need to scavenge another tactical droid to scavenge its data banks if we wanna restore him into proper order.

>>4017922
Don't forget the Nagai had a whole alliance backing them up even. They came to this galaxy to gain reinforcements and resources because their alliance still couldn't handle the Tof.
>>
I'm not hearing any opposition to Tof Genocide with big orb of planet death here.
>>
>>4017947
Because it doesn't exist.
>>
>somebody jacks the Death Star and immediately fucks off into the Unknown Regions to genocide an entire alien empire with it

How does Sheev even respond to this?
How do the Rebels?
>>
>>4017937
I wouldn't be surprised if Vader considered us apprentice material after that. There is going to be no way to avoid drawing his personal interest. Hell, he would probably even wheeze in joy after finding someone with such 'potential'.

>>4017970
>Sheev: well shit...this is why I had a backup maybe I can steal it back
>Rebels: *screams at the thought of dealing with a rogue death star blowing up planets*
>>
>>4017982
>apprentice material after that.
Vader please no, we just wanted to save our friend.
And got a little... carried away.
Our Cathar friend seems a little catatonic while we resort to rage immediately and start beating a guy.
Ah.
We really DO have Dark-side potential to us, huh?

>steal it back
>Stealing something manned with tens of thousands of B3s, Droideka Mk IIs and B-X commandos.

Fucking bring your A Game, Sheev.
>>
>>4017970
I want us to see if we can drift with the Death Star.
>>
How many of you will be disappoint if the dark thing on its way here is the grand inquisitor and not Vader? How disappointed will you be if Vader never comes to this planet?

*crouching B3s

>>
>>4018035
It's enough for the Grand Inquisitor to tell Vader.
I get the feeling that the Muun is gonna get captured and tortured by the Empire.
Vader will probably interrogate him himself and look at whatever recordings are recovered of us going ham on the Tof.
I hope we strike down the unarmed too.
>>
>>4018035
I'd be fucking relieved.
>>
>>4018035
I doubt its Vader himself as he should still be in recovery but I am certain Vader will find out about it and be very impressed. It's definitely something of high enough importance to inform Vader on and he will be personally VERY interested. Someone is bound to suck up to him and reveal it or he'll find it when he's going over the reports of the Inquisitors because he's Sith won't trust them so he'll double check.

If he never comes to investigate personally I would be shocked more then anything and relieved but I very much doubt that is going to happen.

A stranger grabs a teal lightsaber and presses it against the muun. And a voice you don’t know hisses venomously, “...who ordered this?”

The technician has to spit through a wad of blood in his mouth before he can answer, and even then, it’s through a swollen lip that he struggles to reply. “...th-the viceroy...Parz of the Ugtek...wanted a prisoner...not a art decoration...I w-was beaten for b-botching...”

“...can you unfreeze it?” the stranger demands.

“...y-you wish to take her away, b-back t-to your Jedi h-healers?” When no answer comes, the muun hurriedly continues, “...I-I could...anybody could un...unfreeze her...but I would w-wait until she is in b-better hands...”

“...the prison of Master Aure. Do you have the code?” It is given, and when it is received, the stranger snarls, “Now get out of my sight!”

The anger drains from your body like water down a culvert after a long and furious storm. You release the bloodied muun, who seems all too eager to put as much distance between you and him. As his footsteps fade away into the palace, the fury that coursed through your veins disappears as quickly as it had filled them. A fatigue sets in your body, weighing down your bones with an exhaustion that cuts deeper than any blade.

...you don’t know what to do with Kristen, or even the first steps you’d begin to take to heal her. It was not uncommon for those who are brain-dead to come back to life. Miracles of the universe, spontaneous things that happened so rarely that the odds could not be calculated, only chronicled and marked as aberrations against nature.

But you are a Jedi. And the Jedi are masters of the Force, through which all things are possible. There must be a way to save her, there has to be!

The search for a cure can wait. But what cannot is her immediate evacuation from the premises. Standing on shaky legs, you walk over to a silent, crestfallen Torok as you radio Keimann: “I need an immediate extraction atop the south-eastern tower of the palace-”

“We should be safe in here, viceroy, if thieves can’t get through this security system, then the slaves will not either.”

The doors on the far side of the room burst open. All four of you swivel your heads towards the entrance. At least a dozen Tof, escorted by two squads of marauder guard, quickly file into the room. There are not just men among the party, but a woman and children as well, all in varying ages from the toddling and adolescent, to the mature and hobbling elderly.

The little ones hide behind the skirts of their mother, fretful and anxious, and their emotions are reflected on their caretaker’s face by a hundredfold. With one arm, she holds her elder children, sons and daughters who squirm and chafe at her touch. And with her other, she clings to a man who could only be identified as the viceroy of Mylar-3 from the elaborate and opulent clothes that he wears. He is equal measures impatient as he is anxious, dabbing his brow with a laced cloth and wincing at every noise and sound.

“Are you quite sure this place will be safe?” demands Viceroy Parz Ugtek.

“The walls are made of the same reinforced hfredium of our starships,” the captain all but assures his leader, “...and we have more guard that will reinforce the hallways leading up to the palace.”

The woman tugs at her husband’s sleeve, anxious and afraid as she gathers her children. “But when will our ship be ready?”

“Fret not, madam. The Resolute is on its way from its patrol of the system. All we have to do is hold out long enough for it to arrive-”

But as one of them rounds the edge of Kristen’s carbonite block, they spot the four of you, two Jedi and two droids. The lead marauder draws his weapon, shouting, “Intruders! Este, get the viceroy's family behind me-”

You curse, pulling your lightsabers to your hands. Gold erupts from your left, and teal from your right. It seems that the Force has a twisted sense of humor, leading you to the same spot at the same time. How fitting that you’d cut down these scum, these monsters with the weapon of the one they tortured-

Windows shatter and ceramics burst into powder as Torok suddenly rears back and screams, a high and keening roar of anguish and grief. It’s nearly enough to bowl you over, clenching your ears tightly as the very core of your being shudders and reels from the unnatural wave. Even a few degrees removed from his front, it is still a terrible thing to hear. It fills you with a primal rage, an unnatural sense of despair that threatens to bring you down to your knees, and a fear and loathing that goes deeper than human emotions.

The front line of the Tof is not nearly as lucky. Eardrums burst and blood vessels pop; the entire front row falls, clawing at their eyes and ears. The children scream, and the woman shrieks as the blast bowls her over her children and back through the entrance. By the sheer magnitude of his weight and girth, the viceroy manages to stay upright, even as he cowers behind the captain of his guard.

“Wh-what are you waiting for?!” he demands. “Kill them-”

Torok’s lightsaber ignites with a snap-hiss, and he immediately throws himself at the guards. His eyes blaze with the hatred of a burning star as he falls upon the Tof like a scythe to wheat. The blue light of his weapon carves a bloody swathe and trail through the slavers, striking them down with violent and contemptuous ease.

“Hold the line!” the captain shouts, “Hold the-”

He is unable to finish is order. There’s a sickening noise as Torok dislocates his jaw, and seizes the man’s neck between his teeth. The captain has only a second for surprise to register on his face before your brother bites down, hard and deep. A spray of blood erupts from a ruptured artery, painting the ceiling and floors in a slick splash of crimson.

All of the Tof stand dead in their tracks, frozen to the spot as the Cathar spits out the twitching corpse of their captain. His breath is labored as his jaw resets; tears stream down his cheeks, and his Jedi robes are slick with blood and gore. Two hands grip the hilt of his lightsaber with enough force to turn his knuckles white as he rears back for another attack.

“Give her back!” he screams, bisecting a guard right down the middle. He lifts a hand and curls his finger into a tight fist. Four marauders go screaming out of the window and into the abyss below, and another two crushed against the hard surface of the ceiling. “GIVE HER BACK! GIVE US BACK OUR SISTER!”

“Run!” one of the marauders says, shoving the viceroy behind him. Parz nearly slips, somehow falling into the arms of his wife and elder sons and daughters. They take the soldier’s advice, fleeing with all haste into the hall behind them as more soldiers hurry to fill in the gap.“Run, and don’t look back, my lord! Retreat back to the panic room on the-”

“THERE IS NO WHERE YOU CAN RUN FROM ME!” Torok’s roar is nearly deafening as he chases after the fleeing Tof, uncaring of how many of the guards fall in to block his way. He is like a force of nature, an implacable machine as he slaughters any and all that would stand in his way. “NOWHERE TO HIDE WHERE I WILL NOT FIND YOU, SLAVER SCUM! YOU WILL NOT ESCAPE THE PUNISHMENT FOR WHAT YOU DID TO HER! I WILL KILL YOU ALL!”

Stop Torok so we can kill them ourselves.

Saving Kristen is gonna be a monumental pain.

Weight of numbers and the clone bodyguards likely softened em up. Plus they could effectively focus on them which is something we denied them here. In addition to all that? Kirsten and her master we’re diplomats, about as far from combat as possible. They were the wimpiest of our group.


>>4019479
This may also be a factor.

No, I will keep tempting fate for the sake of good dice rolls! At least we still have our friends! And two lightsabers! And we saved a planet full of slaves!

You realise thats still inside the OPs drama-for-the-sake-of-it plan, yeah? Outside this quest, it was a bad experience but hardly coma-inducing. The reason we see it here is muh plot trying to force us into the hero role. Or, you know, muh plot making the side char we barely knew into a martyr to make drama.

Pretty cheap.

I am cutting of the vote here; the vote that won was "chase after Torok" intermingled with "kill the Tof". For those concerned about custcene stopping him or locking you into the Light Side, the next vote will have a plethora of options for how to proceed in...*ahem* dealing with the viceroy and his family.

I will link the next thread once I have posted it. Please do not vote any more after this post. You are, however, free to discuss until I post a new thread, and I kindly ask for you to take all the discussion there once it's up.

The guy was calmly talking with his apprentice, then all his coworkers die at the same time. It's also been stated that he's more attached to things than other jedi, so he went into cardiac arrest. And remember that he only got medical help after we pulled ourself together enough to make decisions properly. Didn't seem cheap to me.

Yep, and I agree it's a cheap and pretty meh move having Kirsten get canned like that. Mostly because we already have some good drama in the form of trying to take care of a bunch of kids.
Not so much a cheap move with our master since it's a good way to have a "trial by fire" method of us becoming worthy of the title of Jedi Knight even though the order is no more since it was shown before shit hit the fan that the MC really wanted to attain the title and was frustrated at times. And now has to act without the oversight of a literal higher power other than the enemy that is Palpatine and the Empire (And Vader).
In a way, he's actually attained more freedom and agency than what Larid had without truly comprehending it because of the Order's fall. The force shall free him indeed.
>>
Darn i missed the vote, it's wrong to kill all the Tof they don't know any better especially the unarmed and children. it only brings us down to kill them like some animal. Better to stand firm and do what's right.
>>
>>4019932
Could have just had him skedaddle to "deal with some issues" considering he hid shit from the Council. Not an asspull with the coma, opens options for further adventures/Rebel shenanigans and forces us to deal with shit all the same, especially if he had left us with the ship and kids for us to keep safe and we *then* heard from the furry with nobody else nearby. More consistent with prior lore.

>>4019915
Yoda - the grandpa to everyone in the order - has a bit of heartburn and this guy basically dies? Yeah no.
>>
>>4019987
Yoda also gave anakin the "everyone dies so just accept it lol" """advice""", so it would make sense for him to practice it.3
>>
>>4019987
Yoda has been alive and watching and feeling things around him die for centuries. He's had lots of practice.
>>
The Qm can kick us as much as he likes it is better to die a jedi than to just be a raving animal. its wrong to let our brother destroy himself to get petty revenge when there are more important things to do.
>>
>>4020077
Yeah.
No killing the unarmed.
The jedi code doesn't allow it.

Which is why we freeze them all in carbonite and jettison the blocks into space.
>>
So we're all in agreement, that we're gonna throw his youngest kids in the beast pits, his wife and daughters to the gladiators/prisoners, geld and then slit thte theoats of his eldest sons, and have him watch as they all suffer and cry for help and mercy, then jettison him into space?
>>
>>4020092
Or just leave them be and let the slaves take their justice on the tof after we defeat the guards. Why fall for this?
>>
>>4020136
Now that's what I call Vader's new apprentice actions.
Finally! Someone who hates Slavers as much as he does.
>>
>>4020136
That would be awfully out of character after stopping broseph, the furry slaver nopesith.
>>
>>4020148
My heart and actions are utterly unclouded. They are all those of justice.
>>
>>4020170
>t.low grounder
>>
>>4020173
All justice is revenge. These slavers have been doing this for who knows how long and if we hadn't came along those kids would've joined them. This is a long time coming for them.
>>
>>4020136
Edgy.

You aren't familiar with how Jedi operate, are you?
>>
>>4020181
>All justice is revenge.
>forgetting about karmic justice
>>
>>4020181
Now this is edgy, revenge is emotional and an outburst of the weak. Justice is impartial and based upon reason. Let the slaves punish the Tof we can take the jedi from here and leave. It is only edgy drama to come this far and fall now.
>>
>>4020200
Imagine all that training and coming through the clone wars only to fall now when we actually are challenged. All so anon can flex for his dead waifu.
>>
>>4020201
No matter how many words you put before justice, it doesn't change that justice is only getting back at someone for a slight against them.
>>
>>4020217
>forgetting what karma is
>>
>>4020212
Anon.
This race is irredeemable.
The cycle will continue lest we PUT THEM TO DEATH.
Besides, the catharsis of seeing their own terrified expressions as we freeze them one by one ought to be quite...

Invigorating.
>>
>>4020217
Except revenge is inflicting harm on another for wronging you. The tof hurt our friend so we kill all of them is revenge it is pure emotion and not grounded in anything but feeling

Justice now that is giving to each what they are due, the tof children do not deserve death for what was done to us. Justice is impartial and we are not impartial in this, justice is giving to each what they are owed. This is based in reason not in emotion.

These are two separate things don't conflate them.
>>
>>4020237
Honestly that sounds highly hedonistic and gay, thus it would make us gay to do it. No thank you.

We are not free of bias or seeking any kind of justice only to feel better about our pain. we simply serve our emotions like a slave. Many humans do evil things as they did in the civil war. Should we wipe them out? every one of them because we feel sad?
>>
>>4020284
Goddamn, that is perfectly accurate.

How you doing Kaz? Curse free, I hope?
>>
Pragmatism suggests that the children die as well, lest they seek revenge.
>>
>>4020237
Anon, you forget that genocide, for any reason, is against the teachings we've been subjected to since infancy. The family of the viceroy is blameless. It would be just to turn him over to Keimann and the slaves and let his wife and children go.
>>
>>4020287
Yes.
Evil shall be pulled out from the root and crushed by it's own sins.

Being born a Tof is their first sin...
>>
>>4020298
So kill the innocent to prevent them from seeking revenge? should we kill all their friends and allies as well lest they seek revenge? Pragmatism suggests it isn't feasible to kill everyone and that by acting evil others will seek to kill us

Yeah.

The ideal jedi is a protector of innocent life. Would you fail Kristen and her pursuit of that ideal by seeking revenge in her name? Was that her personality? I'm really tired and we honestly didn't see much of her considering this is only thread 1 so I can't remember.

When she wakes up and finds out we massacred a Whole Species because of her she would probably Suicide or try and kill us.

I feel like Kaz should have made a fanfic quest with a slightly less autistic fanbase

Like Sonic or Kingdom Hearts.

No, he needs to go more autistic.
And combine all three settings.

The ability of the Star Wars community to collapse into vicious fighting at the slightest provocation can, however, be highly entertaining to sit back and watch with some popcorn and watch the slapfights.
